I often say to any passengers I'm carrying, that if I go quiet, I'm not being rude. My view is that anyone caught using a handheld device while driving, including stopped at traffic lights should receive six points and be fined £250. Texting whilst driving is far worse. Anyone causing death while using a handheld, should, in my view receive a band from driving for life and an immediate custodial sentence.
Police vehicles and ambulances are rarely single manned these days and in any case, as with other road traffic offences which apply to non-emergency vehicles, provisions can be made for the emergency services. Taxi drivers should stop when they need to contact their control rooms (or vice versa). If they are contacted whilst driving and the caller receives no response he should wait for a return call. Phones can log missed calls.
Incredible as it may seem, people used to manage to conduct their business before mobile phones were invented. To say it is essential that they make or receive calls whilst continuing to drive is simply laughable.
