Default Banning of Mobile Phone Use in Cars

Today the News has been full of MP's calling for the total ban on Mobile phone use in cars irrespective if used hands free or not.

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with the banning of using them handheld I feel total banning is a step too far.

Taking it a step further do we also ban the emergency services from using radios hands free ?

Thoughts ?

Yes I do use my phone in the car, no I've not got a holder for it when I get in it's either a) In the centre console, b) in the door pocket or c) In whatever jacket I was wearing when I got in the car. The phone links to the car using Bluetooth & I get all the function I need from that.

Yes I do stream music from either my phone or a tablet but again I set it up before I set off & just use the available controls in the car to change track etc.

No I don't live stream my journey, update or check my social media etc. whilst on the move.
