Isnt it annoying having to pair it each time you get in the car, then turn bluetooth on and off as it drains battery?

I'll have a look at work, pick one up on the cheapo

Yeah, it's really annoying.

I was considering getting one of those Bluetooth car kits that go through your car stereo, but too costly to be honest.

Its far easier to just pull over somewhere suitable and call them back!

There will be a fair few operations around here to combat mobile phone users whilst driving, ill be out myself in an unmarked car at some point

There are loads of sign posts up here warning people about it, even my mother said the other day! So its definately in effect here at least.
