The drivers tend to follow you and assess your overall driving and then use some discretion. Nothing much to fear unless you're being silly.

They certainly do follow and use their discretion - I know, I used to do it ! Infact, most use a huge amount of discretion otherwise they'd run out of tickets very quickly.
Not fair forces using R32's when mine only gave me a 530d :sad:

Yep saw the Grey R32 today on the M6 while I was on the phone to Flora! :laugh:

I really do wish that the Police would have a blitz on mobile phone users while driving. They need the book throwing at them! It's far more dangerous than a focussed driver in a performance car who is just doing 85 in safe conditions.

Most do hammer people on phones - it is one of those things that people never get a warning for .... unlike speeding when quite alot of discretion is generally used.
One of my guys did about 10 speeding tickets last year but 300+ mobile phone ones ... which I was more than happy with !

....That's good to hear! It just shows how many people ignore the law on mobile phone use - Scary.
A mate of mine (who still is a marked car guy) pulled up alongside a bloke at traffic lights in his marked car and the bloke was chatting away on his mobile. My friend (in uniform in the passenger seat) glared at him to get off the phone and was going to leave it as a friendly verbal warning without a stop (both windows were down - A sunny day). But this bloke glared back and said "What the f*ck are you staring at!?". So on went both the blues and two's and he was told to follow and pull in. They threw the book at him and quite right too! They checked everything!

so the moral of the story is dont be a tosser :laugh:
oh and i dont use a mobile so im clear on that one and wouldnt do over 90 (thats the speed of my motorway to work i try and go a lot less normally for economy) i hate it when your driving along with everyone else doing 80-90 and then some peenarse in a 4x4 comes right up your arse (maybe i shouldnt have said that, sounds a bit queer!) eejits!! respect thy fellow road users :happy2:
