Seen to let your side down again. Caught driving with the handeld mobile texting.

Shameful, considering he specialises in Road Traffic Accidents.

Caught by the police did you say?

dont think this thread will last long lol

Yep,- £750 fine and 3 points after not wishing to reveal his salary at a ten min hearing he didn't appear for at Hull Magistrates.

Why not, it's not libelous? Its common knowledge.

Neil has never let our side down. Took and is keeping us in super league.
That's all we care about - not personal matters.

If we are looking at personal matters I could make issues with Uncle Kath but I will leave it there!



Lock It!!!! or better still remove

[url=http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/Hull-KR-chairman-Neil-Hudgell-caught-texting-wheel/article-1553664-detail/article.htmlStory here for anyone who is bothered[/url

Something most of us will have done at some time or other.
Throw away the key

Ive reflected on this topic and as its in the public domain decided that locking it was the incorrect decision.
However.
Libelous comment made on this issue will be dealt with with bans.
And personnal comments regarding Neil Hudgell will not be allowed.

More like you'd read the thread on the Hull forum.

Although I must applaud the way you left it locked for a few hours until the furore surrounding the story breaking died down

Like what? That only a selfish, irresponsible halfwit would even think about texting whilst at the wheel of a motor vehicle?

It seems eminently reasonable that such content should be allowed to remain, given the circumstances.

Comment on the offence yes.
Comments aimed at him because of who he is or his business interests no.
Hope that clarifies it for you.

Speak for yourself I know I haven't!

Good on you for re-opening it.

So it would be inappropriate to point out the irony of a person who makes his living from accident litigation being convicted of precisely the kind of activity that is likely to cause an accident?

I didnt say it was right but i have been texted and read the text.

I agree, considering he is an accident lawyer he will be more than aware of the deaths such behaviour has caused, it is disgraceful behaviour.

And he calls us cabbages

I see you had your spell check on this time round

Stupid and irresponsible thing to do, whoever you are.

Has anybody been a passenger when a friend answers a hand-held phone when driving? I always feel torn between pointing out that they really shouldn't be doing it and not wanting to be a 'bad guest'. Some people, including friends of mine, seem to view it as no big deal and I don't want to come across as prissy or fall out with them. Nor, on the other hand do I want to have to help scrape a pedestrian off the bonnet. Same with speeding. I just tend to make excuses to avoid been in the same car, which, now I think about it, is a bit of moral cowardice - it doesn't reduce the chance of an accident, just my chance of being there.

Which is better, IYO?

a. Laid back, polite moral passivity

or

b. Socially responsible interfering busybody

Extremely irresponsible. Texting whilst driving is more dangerous then taking or making a call whilst driving.

Option C, aggressively take the phone off them and lob it outof the window. (be careful not to hit anyone and kill them with the object or you could be getting done)

Guess looking down at a phone means your eyes are off the road more but theyre both as bad as each other for me.

I'm proud to boast I've had my license for 8 years and no points to this date!

(ironically I bet I get caught speeding this weekend!)

I drive literally all corners of Hull for my job and it's surprising how many drivers still put their handsets to their ears whilst driving, he deserves what he gets imo, don't care who you are the law is the law.

I don't think you're interfering by telling friends to stop doing something which is both idiotic and unnecessary, no text can be that important that you have to do it whilst driving.

I would however get a bit riled if people continually told me to slow down when doing 45 in a 40 for instance.

And yes, good spelling BB.
