REAL LIFE NEWS: IF USING ONE MOBILE PHONE WHILE DRIVING IS BAD, WHAT ABOUT USING TWO?

by Hazed

In the UK, it's against the law to use a handheld mobile phone while driving. That must mean it's doubly against the law to use two of them!

A man in Norfolk, England, has been arrested for allegedly driving with his knees while manipulating two mobile phones. He was pulled over by police who were operating a two-week clampdown on illicit use of mobiles in cars, because he was holding a phone to his ear. But when the police looked inside the car they found he had another phone in his other hand, which he was using to send texts.

As if that weren't enough, he was also driving without insurance, so his car has been seized. He will be up before magistrates soon where he will likely be fined thousands of pounds for his transgressions, and get six points on his licence.
