I am not joining the Apple Club, but heard this on the news this morning and it made me smile...

Apparently using this shiny new iWatch whilst driving will apparently carry the same sentence as using a mobile phone in the car......

So best to leave your watch at home then ...Bouncy

There will always be people flaunting the law and it's much easier to disguise using an smart watch than a mobile phone. I can see a few accidents occuring with distracted drivers.

It's all just marketing in the run up to Fri.

Any publicity is publicity, plus, we all know real criminals use Galaxy notes.

Couldn't they just refer to the Apple tracker at GCHQ?

Indubitably true. Samsung S21 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra
