Apparently it's illegal to hold a conversation with your passenger in China.

How long before we all have to drive along in total silence in this country?

That would be a bleesing sometimes, when S.W.M.B.O is in the car too!!

I can't see Government outlawing smoking while driving.
Think of all that revenue they will lose!

Like I've said before every car we own is going to have Privacy glass from now on!............It will keep the nosey parkers out.

So.......... if it's "illegal" to use a hands free phone kit, change radio stations and maybe sing along to your favourite ditty, why does the Government allow these irresponsible car manufacturers etc to produce these items for free sale to the public.

Should they not tax your radio, hands free kit etc for a few years before banning them?

Illegal to smoke in a "business" vehicle already. And.... privacy on front windows is not allowed...... Too late Jules, they've already gone and done it.

Question... If I am travelling to (and from) work, does my private vehicle become a "business" vehicle?

Hi Andrew I meant Legal Privacy glass.
That means as dark as possible within the Law.
I wouldn't risk getting a fine and 3 points!

Some Renaults have a pinky semi mirrored finish to the windscreens.
(obviously this is legal as it's OEM)
Wonder if any companies could replicate that finish, and keep the front looking nosey parkers out even more.

Seen those Renaults, know some friends who have them. They are always saying "I waved at you and you ignored me" My usual reply is "Did not see you, but as long as we missed each other, then we're all happy!"

I read the link and note it states "with the engine switched off" it does not say and the keys removed. If this is an official document then a copy carried in the car should cover the event if it happened to ourselves.

99% of drivers I speak to, don,t know that the engine has to be OFF

And if someone can explain to me how injury will result by being stationary with the engine running

There will be a law next about Farting while driving

there will be jules ,and they will say it is a turbo
