Of course talking to fellow drivers is ok, but if it's a tad quiet you may end up killing yourself. :roll:

More likely end up killing each other the way some of the drivers here carry on. And that's when time are better, not in the quietest month for taxis since the last ice age. :roll:

Good job you are not in Brighton Nidge2, if caught with a scanner you would lose your licence for 5 years!
