Give him a medal

A medal? For criminal damage?

More than 20 motorists in Hampshire have fallen victim to a mystery

Read the story you pratt this nutter is picking on people at random.
One victim hasnt even got a phone

Dave M being unable to distinguish a bicycle from something unrelated
nevertheless went ahead and trolled:

Cyclists were they?

Not a bicycle then.

No point looking in Dave M's skull - they won't find anything there.

He should be in prison.

It is criminal damage, even if he did have the "excuse" of having seen
the people using a mobile, which he knew the police would do nothing
about.

But he doesn't. He is clearly targeting people at random, and leaving
the notes on the assumption that most people will have used a mobile
in their car at some time.

One of the people targeted doesn't even *own* a mobile phone.

As should all those pratts driving around using their mobile phones.
Let's stnd them all on the fast lane of the motor way, drive at them at
speed, and see how good they are at dogding cars whilst talking on
their mobiles. Lapse of concentration = severe injury/death (THEIRS,
not an innocent road user's)

If the man ia accusing those people of using phones whilst driving, I
would say the police have a duty to investigate, and to serve those
idiots with the apporpriate punishment.

Just because someone says they don't OWN a phone doesn't mean they
didn't USE one. I don't own a car, but I drive one. It is for the
police to ascertain whether the targetting is random or not. We can't
judge just because someone says they don't own a phone.

Down here the police don't give a toss about mobile 'phone users

IMHO it should be an instant £1000 fine and 8 penalty points

As a motorbike rider i'm going to go ahead and sing the guy some
praises. Unaware car drivers doing the most stupid manouvres are
possibly the most dangerous thing I can think of.

I mean, they're insured, they're strapped in, they're in a nice big
metal cage... why should they care if they hit something; Chances are
they are going to be fine, if not come out better with a claim or two.
For me, nothing strapping me down and nothing to protect me other than
some padded clothes and a helmet things aren't going to be as nice...
so the less mobile phone using morons there are on the road, the
better.

Hell, I can't even properly concentrate on browsing the internet while
i'm on the phone to somebody, and i'm an I.T. Manager... let alone
playing with other peoples lives.

Would you like your doctor to be chatting away to his mates about the
next pub crawl while he operates on you? I think not.

Well they could always start by issuing themselves with FPN's whenever they
use their push to talk half duplex personal radios while driving and it
isn't an emergency - but oops I forgot it is one law for them and another
law for the rest of us see:-

The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) (No. 4) Regulations
2003,
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2003/20032695.htm
s 2 [110] (4)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Regulation 110(4) provides a definition of devices that are considered
similar to hand-held mobile telephones for the purpose of these regulations.
This definition excludes two-way radios.

How are they supposed to investigate? Where will there be any evidence
of the victims using a phone whilst driving?

Nope. It is for the police to investigate who is committing acts of
criminal damage and arrest them.

Not quite right there

Taxi , ambulance driver , police , in fact any one using a two way radio is
exempt under an act of parliament

Plod has another sneaky one up his sleeve tho'

It can be used for two way radio's , lighting a [censored] , drinking a can of pop or
eating an apple

Think its called driving without due care and attention

Unless it just happens to be a mobile phone.

The upshot is that the police use two way half duplex radio (therefore you
have to press to talk) all the time, whereas if you use your full duplex
radio phone the very same police officer who has just PNC'ed your vehicle
over the radio while following you will give you a ticket.

So? It's still the same law for them as us. If they'd PNC'ed my vehicle
over a mobile phone, they'd be breaking the law. If I'd been using a
non-prohibited radio they couldn't give me a ticket (except, possibly,
for DWDCAA).

Regrettably I think we are going to see more of this 'taking the law into
one's own hands' as the police do less and less in combatting low-level
crime, particularly from the law-breaking motorist who seems to be able to
kill and maim with little comeback.
IMO private security forces will soon become the norm.
