Anyone know why handheld radios are specifically exempt from this law? The law was "designed" to cover mobile phones by specififying the GSM frequency bands which two-way radios don't use. The legislation listed at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/2695/regulation/2/made give sthe d...

Pompey? - perhaps we should think again then!

Thank you for your positive comments. I have been beating myself up today for being such a nasty person! :bash: I will consider taking a retest. :cheers: Well, we'll consider you to be a "nasty person" and do the beating up if you don't take a free retest - have confidence, you've worked ...

The video shows Direction/Route signs only; they are not "giving orders", so there is no need to comply with them - you may not wish to go to any of those destinations! 8-) Look at the pic in the first post. The sign I'm referring to is on the right, not the direction signs with destinati...
