These are some of the excuses drivers gave when they got caught talking on the cell phone while driving (against the law in Israel)

"I wasn't holding the cell phone nor using it. Maybe the police officer was blinded by the sun"

"I wasn't talking on the phone, just listening."

"I was just using the antenna to scratch my ear"


Post your creative excuses

If u answer your phone whilst driving them you are using the phone whilst driving. However, if i get into my car mid-conversation and then proceed to drive off - am i driving whilst on my phone? is there a difference?

Yet another reason I never need to visit Israel...if I couldn't talk while sitting in traffic for an hour, it would make my drive seem like 2 hours. I use blue tooth though...don't they have that in Israel? Mine is so small you can't even see it through my

My car has an integrated Bluetooth system that I control via a button on the steering wheel. No holding a phone...no earpiece. If someone calls, the car announces, "You have an incoming call." I hit the button to talk...my phone stays in my purse.

It's just like I'm talking to someone sitting next to me in the car.

I HATE TALKING ON THE PHONE!!!!!


I am guilty of texting while I'm driving though.....I know I shouldn't but I do.

HOLDING ON to a phone while driving is very dangerous
you have only one hand to steer, signal and respond.
that's why many accidents happen

okay. near as i can tell this is about the mentality:

"hi! I talk on the phone while driving because I am a total moron, a stupid person who does not care about road safety. So WHAT if I cannot signal my lane changes due to the fact that one of my hands is used for steering and the other hand is busy holding my phone? so WHAT if i tend to swerve without warning on and off roads, turn corners without any indication of my intent to do so and cut in front of people without signaling?? Did I mention I am too stupid to live???

You are very sweet.

Yeah, I'm the guy texting, holding on to a drink (non-alcoholic of course), driving and shifting all at the same time.


Can you believe that never in my life have I been in an accident? **knocksonwood**

A lot of phones don't have the antenna's anymore, but I don't answer or call when I am driving.

I hope none o' y'all live near me.
