I just don't get it.

They spend £50k on a car and don't add an bluetooth phone kit - or did they come as standard on an RR?

I ask that question all the time. My wife has a Ford Fiesta and that comes with Bluetooth. I would be staggered if any car over £20k doesnt have it as standard now.

My Vito came with Bluetooth built in, unfortunately my new phone is incompatible with it so I am now paired to the Garmin, so it is not always that straight forward.

Fully deserves the book throwing at her,unfortunately some drivers(a police officer at that) kill people whilst using a phone and don't even get prosecuted.

Her lawyer, Nick Freeman, argued at Highbury Magistrates court that his client had "suffered more than a normal person because of the media attention her arrest had attracted".
Sarah who? Arrested you say? Well I never.

OR a rabid technophobe? I forced an android smartphone on my wife so she could take pics of the kids and use the internerd when out, she cannot/willnot learn how to use it, nor connect to the bluetooth in the car..

"suffered more than a normal person because of the media attention her arrest had attracted".

Have to say that is probably true.

Had she been a "normal person" who knocked a "normal cyclist" of his bike then it would never have even got to court.

That doesn't mean her sentence was unfair - it means "normal people" get away with too much!
