Re: HP Driving.....
I got this from a friend over email:
>>Important Info to all Drivers !!! Must read, especially the website link
>>to S'pore Police Force.
>>
>>A note from my colleague's friend . . .
>>
>>My friend's Dad was stopped today by the police for having his mobile
>>phone
>>next to him. He was NOT even using the mobile at the time. There was a row
>>of traffic cops stopping cars to check.
>>
>>He was given 6 demerit points on the spot.
>>
>>Apparently, the mobile phone needs to have the handsfree set attached to
>>the mobile to be ALLOWED next to driver. If no handsfree set is attached,
>>it will be assumed that there is the POSSIBILITY of driver using the
>>mobile.
>>
>>So, to avoid trouble, just have your mobile handsfree set attached to
>>mobile while driving. By the way, it did not help that my friend's Dad had
>>2 other mates in the car. Mobile left on dashboard or space between driver
>>and front passenger will be assumed to belong to driver ! !
>>
>>This did not & still does not make any sense to me, so I went to Singapore
>>Police Force web site to check and found this link.
