mobile phone laws
I know it is an offence to use a mobile phone whilst driving without hands free but if the phone rings and you pull into the kerb but your engine is still running, would this be an offence. Sorry to sound a bit dim but i never use my phone in the car however on occasions it has rung and if possible I will pull over to answer it.

Spaced is correct. There was a caller on Radio 5 Live yesterday who was in a car park with the engine off and the keys in the ignition. A Traffic Policeman told him that he must remove the keys from the ignition for his call to be legal, as he was deemed to be in charge of the vehicle with the keys in the ignition, even with the engine not running.
I do see people pull up in the most stupid to answer a Mobile.
