Despite it being in a holder, your finger is touching your phone, so you are still liable to 3 points and £60 fine. Only if you're using it as a phone, not when you're using it as a music player. Jimmy Carr got off a little while ago because he was using his phone as a dictaphone (which still involved pressing buttons, holding it up to his face, and talking-the law is a donkey). Will this thing play 78's?

Batteries out in the first pic? (it's sitting a bit lower in the second) And why does it still need (an albeit tiny) exhaust pipe? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

Getting nicked cars back isn't really worth that much to insurers.
They usually have a contract with their salvage agents, meaning that the salvager will pay a fixed percentage of what the insurer paid out on the car for it. Stolen/recovered cars will probably get lumped into the Cat D band, regardless of the actual amount of damage. The insurer will then also have to pay the (extortionate) amount the police will want for recovering and storing the car while they trace the owner.
Doesn't explain why the premium would go up though. I can only assume that as it is effectively a 'declared modification' they will have to pay out more when your car goes missing.

Those wheels are pure win ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) They seem to have vanes built into them; for cooling the brakes presumably? (why make them 'solid' in the first place then? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) )

How do you change stud patterns?
You see a lot of golfs with 5-stud Porsche wheels on, but some Golf's came with 5-stud hubs which you could retro-fit to other models. But when you have a car which never had 5-stud hubs you could swop to, how does it work?

Who writes this rubbish?
"Renovation concentrates on a more or less exact imitation of a "factory-new" appearance...Vehicles or objects altered in this manner are in danger to loose [sic] their value as sources for cultural history."
So if a car isn't rusty to a degree consistent with it's age, leaking oil everywhere, and producing a plume of black smoke wherever it goes isn't historically important? So old churches shouldn't have stonework repaired where it is worn due to it's age? Paintings shouldn't be cleaned from time to time so that the original colours can still be seen?
This is nothing to do with allowing "future generations to enjoy these cultural treasures", it's abut getting older cars off the road. There is no other explanation for it. Museum pieces will be fine; keeping a 'historic' car on the road is going to become all but impossible if this goes through.
I've never written to an MP before, but will be doing so for the first time this evening.

We're living in the future... We are in the 21st century, and if that isn't the future I don't know what is ;D I remember when I thought this was high-tech: ![](http://www.sportscardigest.com/wp-content/uploads/Aston-Martin-DB5-James-Bond-Movie-Car-Interior-Map.jpg) Now my telephone does it. As well as a million other things. In the olden days this was the only way you'd get 'car' and 'laser' in the same sentence: ![](http://imcdb.org/i215644.jpg)
