We had the police in at work doing a talk and they mentioned this, apparently the HGVs are fully marked up and super obviously police vehicles, and they”re trying to catch people on their mobiles.
I’ve never actually seen one of these HGVs though so I don’t know the copaganda-free truth.
From a quick search it looks like the old HGVs were marked up, but the new ones patrolling the M25 from 2020 are unmarked.
Well until they make a better CarPlay perhaps still don’t use your phone.
If you need to use your phone pull over. Whilst you’re at it, enable driving mode so you won’t be tempted by those pesky notifications.
If it worth causing an accident to check your phone?
Tedious.
I’ll accept that I’m tedious if you accept that using a phone whilst operating a vehicle is selfish asshole territory.
Just use Android Auto.
