Mobile phone detectors are to be used by police to find drivers using
devices at the wheel.

The Thames Valley and Hampshire forces are rolling out the technology to
show when motorists are using their phones.

A sign will flash at the driver telling them to stop using their mobile
- but the detectors cannot tell if it is a driver or passenger using the
phone.

The detector picks up 2G, 3G and 4G signals and will therefore flash to
alert people in cars who are using phones to call, text or data.

If people are using a Bluetooth hands-free device, the detector will
recognise this and not flash.

Nope, to find a mobile phone being used in the car. It can't
work out whether its being used by the driver or a passenger.

Nope, see above.

So is a complete wank.

It won't.

A local texting driver wrapped her bumper around a power pole. The 7kv line broke and dropped on her car.Â* She had to sit there in her car for 30 minutes while power company turned the power turned off.Â* Unfortunately, the airbag saved her life.

She was lucky. One girl was killed in a head on on the road in back of

How about the data dumps the car does? These days that link is being
used for a lot more than just phone calls and texts. I was reading an
article in one of my electronic trade rags that says we ain't seen
nothing yet. The protocol is in place for virtually constant
communication between cars and all sorts of things, feeding real time
information to and from your on board computers.
Personally I think I want to find that antenna and cut the wire or
wrap the antenna in aluminum foil. I don't even carry a phone.

I don't, I find the satnav alone is very convenient.
I was doing a run into our state capital by car
with me supposed to catch the train back to
my home town and it was interesting to watch
google maps using the traffic data to update
the arrival time. It was spot on. The stupid
thing on the mate's Nokia was way out and
never got updated on the arrival time.

I don't even carry a phone.

Mad. We now coordinate the garage/yard sale run
on the phone, normally talking to each other for the
full couple of house between waiting for the first one
to open and the last one to finish and being able to
tell each other about extra ones that didn't bother
to advertise in the local paper for $40 and didn't
use facebook to advertise it, just put a sign on the
street power or light pole etc. I have my own local
facebook group where I post all the ads from the
local paper and the local buy sell swap groups
and where anyone can post their garage/yard sale
ad and update that as they open etc. The paper
discourages advertisers from including the
street number so they don't get people showing
up the day before while they are setting up etc.
So I add the street number when that becomes
obvious when it opens.

Google maps on the phone does a hell of a lot better
than the dedicated satnavs in the car etc do too,
particularly with the traffic information and where
a serious car crash has produced a traffic jam etc.

A local texting driver wrapped her bumper around a power pole. The
7kv line broke and dropped on her car. She had to sit there in her
car for 30 minutes while power company turned the power turned off.
Unfortunately, the airbag saved her life.

You're a sick person ;-)

Sounds like the air bag prevented Darwin from working his magic.


According to the recall notices I keep getting my airbag will kill me if
it ever actuates. One of these days I'll take the car in but I think it
just affects the passenger side.

Have to remember phones talk to base by itself for location
regardless.

But easy to distinguish between that and voice calls and texts.

How about the data dumps the car does?

Indeed, the entire thing is completely hare brained.
And what the satnav is doing as well.

Particularly with the satnav.

Personally I think I want to find that antenna and
cut the wire or wrap the antenna in aluminum foil.

I don't, I find the satnav alone is very convenient.
I was doing a run into our state capital by car
with me supposed to catch the train back to
my home town and it was interesting to watch
google maps using the traffic data to update
the arrival time. It was spot on. The stupid
thing on the mate's Nokia was way out and
never got updated on the arrival time.

I don't even carry a phone.

Mad. We now coordinate the garage/yard sale run
on the phone, normally talking to each other for the
full couple of house between waiting for the first one
to open and the last one to finish and being able to
tell each other about extra ones that didn't bother
to advertise in the local paper for $40 and didn't
use facebook to advertise it, just put a sign on the
street power or light pole etc. I have my own local
facebook group where I post all the ads from the
local paper and the local buy sell swap groups
and where anyone can post their garage/yard sale
ad and update that as they open etc. The paper
discourages advertisers from including the
street number so they don't get people showing
up the day before while they are setting up etc.
So I add the street number when that becomes
obvious when it opens.

Google maps on the phone does a hell of a lot better
than the dedicated satnavs in the car etc do too,
particularly with the traffic information and where
a serious car crash has produced a traffic jam etc.

I don't use nav in the car either. I know where
I am going and if I don't I will look at a map.

Mad, satnav leaves maps for dead.

Kids there used to be these things called maps ;-)

I used them before satnavs showed up and satnavs leave them for dead.

I lived "connected" during pretty much all of my
working life (24/7) and now I like being off the grid.

Mad when out driving.

I don't want to be constantly available

Don't have to be and still use it for what it does best.

and I certainly don't need some woman
in my car telling me where to go.

Stupid to use a physical map now.

Maybe you just can't look at a map and remember where you are going.

Corse I can and did before satnavs showed up.

Around here I could draw a map.

Irrelevant to whats most useful in places you arent familiar with.

Thats a lie too. Most drivers using a phone while driving
are no more distracted than when talking to a passenger and
are much less distracted than with unruly brats in the car.

Only for a luddite dinosaur. Its useful to have a decent
OBD2 system that tells you when a sensor has failed
so you can just replace it with a high certainty of being
the fault etc. And handy for all but luddite dinosaurs
to have Apple Carplay and Google Auto so that its
easy to have your phone use the main dash screen
and handy to have a decent dash screen so you can
see the various stuff that you want to have it show too.

Handy to have full 360 cameras for parking instead
of farting around with external mirrors for that and
to make it much easier to see see where the corners
are when parking, particularly with the modern small
cars which slope the front down so fast that even
a tall person cant see any of it when sitting in the
drivers seat. And to have those cameras act as
dashcams all around when the car is moving
and as surveillance cameras when its parked too.
And to be a reversing camera so you don't run
over little kids when backing etc.

The VW Golf even has a fancy system which helps
with reversing a small trailer when none of the trailer is
visible out the back window, particularly when its empty.

And a decent cruise controls which keeps a specified
distance from the car in front and which allows you
to specify that distance by speed so that it still works
when inching forward in a traffic jam and when tearing
along the freeway etc.

Also handy to keep track of fuel consumption and
the fuel level so you can see at a glance how far you
can go till you need to fill again and ideally show you
the petrol stations in front of you that you can make
it to and the price they are selling petrol for too.

There is no sense in it when it can't even work out if the driver

A sign will flash at the driver telling them to stop using their mobile - but the detectors cannot tell if it is a driver or passenger using the phone.

The detector picks up 2G, 3G and 4G signals and will therefore flash to alert people in cars who are using phones to call, text or data.

If people are using a Bluetooth hands-free device, the detector will recognise this and not flash.

If it stops just one death, it has to be a good thing.


A local texting driver wrapped her bumper around a power pole. The 7kv line broke and dropped on her car.Â* She had to sit there in her car for 30 minutes while power company turned the power turned off.Â* Unfortunately, the airbag saved her life.

You're a sick person ;-)

Yup!
