I'm not condoning the mobile phone law - I think it's sensible, I do however also believe there's no real difference between a radio or a phone on loudspeaker and both should be banned.

I'm reasonably sure as Jo Public if I was to drive about holding a walkie talkie or some such, I'd be done for undue care or similar.

You're making the assumption that 'Jo Public' is as well trained in the art of driving as a police officer.....
