Another GREAT feature on mine is the abilty to BLOCK! Unwanted annoying calls and texts, once blocked I hear nothing and the number appears on a blacklist! From where I can "manage" it acordingly. Everyone except very close relatives are BLOCKED Love it

I see from reading this that the Government are considering raising the fine for using a mobile phone whilst driving from £100 to £150. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-37370828
Wow, that really is some deterent ( NOT )considering the chances of actually getting caught are almost negligible and what is a hundred and fifty smackers these days?

I think if your caught using your mobile phone whilt driving it should be crushed immediately! No chance to "move" your contacts or any other trivia Minimum fine should be at least £1000 after all your endangering some else's life.

Fwiw I follow a couple of Police accounts on Twitter and the amount of people caught for having no Tax, no insurance, no driving test pass! No MOT is frightening So much for ANPR

I'm sure someone cleverer than me can tell me if it can be done but I can't see why some sort of signal blocking device cannot be fitted into the roof fabric or elsewhere in the car which disables the phone signal when the engine's running.

There are signal blockers but they are illegal and they will be confiscated by Ofcom when discovered, they have been used in the past covertly in certain religious establishments to stop their congregation from phoning whilst inside the building . The trouble with these devises are that the signal is not contained to the four walls and they splash around the surrounding area blocking everybody else's phone...

You must be joking, the car industry (probably more powerful than the government these days) would never allow it

The latest top of the range model of my car has a built in sim card and if the air bags go off it automatically calls the emergency services and uses gps to tell them where the accident is.

Good discussion on both sides, but no way am I going to be convinced.
