One brilliant poet.
Me, I'm more of an Albert Tatlock truth be told!
Don't limit the friends you haven't met with arguments you'll never have.

There are several versions around of a quote by Winston Churchill but the theme was:
“I only believe statistics that I have doctored myself”,

Quick question; do we know, if any other countries have such a ban?

Quick answer, no idea.
Seriously, just checked and it seems France has had a ban on using hands free phones since 2015. Now that is a surprise.

It might be a bit late into the party for banning hands-free phones now that hands-free cars are appearing!

And we all know how good the French are at obeying rules!

Here's an articlewith a list of what is permitted within Europe.
@Minivanman It appears to differ from your report on France.

@Champnet I'm not so sure. I even silence the missus, when joining the carriageway from a slip.
Sheer terror ?
Not quite, but more so on Fridays in Summer. The road near us is packed, or if not so some idiot drivers making their way to Bournemouth and other points West. There are many accidents over a close 2-3 mile stretch, some fatal.

It would appear so.
I'll find the report which was in a recent English language newspaper if I can and get back to you.
Gotta get these things right.

I know in Spain, you have to have a properly fitted kit. You cannot use the Cyberman effect bluetooth equipment, neither can you use ear buds. The Police are now also using drones to enforce driving standards (good luck with that!!).

Here you go. I can only assume then that 'the objective' was never implemented.

That was the puzzle, how the heck are the police going to know if somebody is talking on the phone.
The driver could just as well be chatting to a passenger, arguing with some radio show they are listening to.... or praying for rain in Spain!
Crazy eh.
