      We had the police in at work doing a talk and they mentioned this, apparently the HGVs are fully marked up and super obviously police vehicles, and they”re trying to catch people on their mobiles.

      I’ve never actually seen one of these HGVs though so I don’t know the copaganda-free truth.

        it could be marked on the roof, like buses? ive never seen one either.

        if apple made a better touchscreen system than carplay, you wouldnt need to use your mobile. carplay apps are shit

          Well until they make a better CarPlay perhaps still don’t use your phone.

          If you need to use your phone pull over. Whilst you’re at it, enable driving mode so you won’t be tempted by those pesky notifications.

          If it worth causing an accident to check your phone?

              Tedious.

              I’ll accept that I’m tedious if you accept that using a phone whilst operating a vehicle is selfish asshole territory.
