What's made you grumpy today?

:yeahthat:Your parents got legal cover on their home insurance?

I'm living elsewhere at the moment, renting a room so not really a thing...

try and get job back and leave on your own terms. looks better on employment record

It's a good idea but alot of hassle, chances are I won't get it back anyway.

You could always go down the unfair dismissal route if you feel strongly about it.

Tbh it's not a job I want back, I feel I was dismissed unfairly but I didn't like the job one bit, the need for income was the only thing keeping me there anyway.

I'm currently deciding on whether I should save some money by moving back to Norfolk and just start again, hopefully even get myself a job I enjoy :) At the moment it looks like I have a month left to sort myself out.....
 
witnessing bad driving, imo i think the person was either drunk or on drugs, swerving all over the road crossing over to on coming traffic nearly missing two vehicles which i slammed brakes on cause i thought he was gonna collide with those two vehicles:eek:

never been so shocked in my life, soon as i noticed the swerving i increased the distance from me and him quite a bit for my own safety:)

if the person was drunk or on drugs, i can never understand how they can get in a car and drive while in that state, one its stupid and two being very dangerous:(
 
If you have a crash when you were talking on Bluetooth, or any other hands free device, it makes no difference to your liability. You are still treated as if you were holding a device in your hand.

Mobile calls are logged and they know where you were.

I don't know about real emergencies, but otherwise this holds true. Don't think that speaking over a Bluetooth connection abrogates you from responsibility - you were on the phone and in a crash that counts against you! :eek:
 
When is a driver allowed to use a hand-held phone?
There is an exception for calls to 999 or 112 in a genuine emergency where it would be unsafe or impractical to stop. Using 2-way radio equipment when driving is not a specific offence. Remember that a conversation could still distract from the concentration needed to drive safely. If you do not have proper control, then the police can still take action. ;)

so even making a call to 999 to report some driver that you suspect maybe under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or doesnt seem fit to drive, is bad then? although i never did report it when i should of really, but his/her driving was shocking the person drove the wrong side for a good few seconds then moving back in, which makes me think its either alcohol or drug related, then again there is also tiredness but even thats just as bad.

Only if you being on the phone can be linked to cause of the collision.

Like I say a 999 call isn't going to be treated in the same manor calling your mum to say you're on your way home for dinner, unless you're emergency call isn't legit such as calling for an ambulance as you've a splinter in your finger.

would you class reporting driver swerving, driving on wrong side of road is a legitimate call to make? i have no clue on laws by the way only the ones i need to know such traffic laws and offences etc.

but as i said i never knew about exceptions for calling 999.

i guess its rare you'd see a driver do such thing, bu ive seen it on numerous occassions but never once go for the phone, because ive seen fatal accidents related to people using mobile phones, also see people daily using mobile phones while driving:bang:
