Silly sod's right, fancy not noticing a plod along side you! There again i think the said plod's being a bit ott.
However you (anybody, not just taxi's) can use a two way radio/cb thingy legally.
But even with bluetooth you can be done if it's deemed your not in proper control of your vehicle.

Have a look here.

Please be advised folks that the Phone also has to be secured in a cradle of some sorts in order for it to be legal as the phone either resting on your dash or anywhere else is not deemed to be secure, sorry if the link tells you this but i have not clicked it :wink:
