Making mobile call using hands free is as dangerous as hand held calls. (1 Viewer)

I think its about time we remove all distractions, to ensure there is no person around all vehicles should be single seated with no windows that you may want to open or any chance of entertainment systems that may be turned on and listened to maybe consider getting rid of some of the wheels (probably 2 is more than enough) so we have less of them to concentrate on rather than the road, we should also increase the speed we can drive these single person 2 wheeled safety vehicles at so that we minimise the time spent on the road where we could be distracted.

Any ideas on what we could call these wonderful 2 wheeled high powered safety machines we should all immediately be forced to drive!!!

What about getting rid of some of the signage that we are supposed to read on our travels.

I always find I can't read some of the signposts when I'm lost because there is always a huge lorry on the inxide lane blocking them from my view.

Well of course the ability to cope with a workload in any control situation depends on the training and competence of the operator.

I was trained to fly a 52t machine one-handed in 3 dimensions in cloud, while being able to talk on the radio, read the airport approach chart and respond to the co-pilot's checklist read-out.

I was checked on my ability to do this by a government inspector and my licence signed accordingly.

It shouldn't be beyond possibility for it to self cancel after 30seconds or so.

My Garmin does.
