So interestingly.. My entire MMI system could be seen as a phone.. Or maybe even the car itself as it can make calls using its built in SIM...

I think you will be okay, unless you class either as hand-held? +++

You could say the car is 'hand-held'. After all, if he's in control of his car, he will be steering it, and thus will be holding it. ergo 'Guilty me Lud'. ;)

Touching phone
 

Hi,

Interesting points here...

One case involved a man reaching to his BlueTooth earpiece to answer a call. Not the phone. Done. Sorry man! :-(

Can the divice AutoAnswer? Voice activated manual answer? No? Careful then...

A wider point is that although car enthusiasts (especially A8 folks) can handle a phone, cup of coffee, 4 wheel drift... LOTS of drivers cannot. Oh, and can we? always?

I want to stop those drivers hitting me / mine / you / yours. :Confused: I don't know how to stop them without(probably...) competent people losing their rights to do something... :tuttut:

What I am concerned about is the LACK of policing of mobile use, bad driving, in fact anything that a camera system cannot do... We all must see stuff we WANT them doing for; don't we??? :Confused:
