Sitting in traffic last night when my mobile went...talking away when i was pulled over by the police....Was given a severe talking to...thought i was going to get done, think the only reason i did not get done was he noticed a Kings regiment sticker in my window, it turned out he served with the regiment ..anyway i have taken this as a gypsys warning and i am going to invest in hand free....can anyone point me in the right direction of the best kit i should get ?

1. He was right, you were driving/in charge of the vehicle so he could have done you....probably


2. Any hands free is good but ive never used the ones ive had that were "speaker" in the car, get a Jabra

You got off light there, it could've been three points and an extra 200 dumps on your insurance.

I've found the built in one's supplied in radio dvd units can be a bit problematic bight the bullet and buy a parrot they never drop calls connect every time :D :D :D

In most new cars it's included, but Mrs Sx has a parrot. Which I may add is most appropriate. :D
