Frederick Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 The wearing of Bluetooth headsets.....is this just a bloke thing ? ..... I have yet to see a woman in her car wearing one ...they would rather risk a huge fine and points on the licence and continue using their mobiles while driving it seems ......What have you got against them girls ?......... are you waiting for pink sparkling ones to come on the market ?....At less than £10 a time.... I would think looks mattered little.when you consider the cost of getting caught making a call . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I don't use a mobile, although I do keep on in the car in case of a breakdown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 For £10 perhaps I should have one. But I gave up mobile phones when I left the UK nearly 3 years ago, so perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Katie Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I cannot wear these because the top of my ear is stuck to my head. The grove there is very small if you know what I mean. Overall I have freakishly small ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Are you saying that you see lots of women using their mobile phone while driving...? Or just that you rarely see women wearing the handsfree kit? I don't have bluetooth but I don't use the phone when driving. If I get a call, I pull over. If I can't pull over, it doesn't get answered. If there's no number listed when I look at the phone... if they want me, they'll call again. I do still see people driving with the phone pressed to their ear... mostly in England but sometimes in France. Generally, they're male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Both ....In the UK mostly .. I live near a school and each day lots of mums drive up to the school using their mobiles and are no doubt telling their kids they are just arriving and to get themselves outside the gate ..........I noticed its dads collecting or dropping off kids that are wearing the bluetooth headsets.... mums must have access to them.....but dont seem to like using them .....

Gemini_man Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 i was under the impression that to use a mobile phone while driving even with a hands-free set up is illegal?as for actually wearing a Bluetooth headset ..... well, my mobile doesn't ring often enough to make it a consideration - and i'm a bloke.however, if it did ring frequently enough i suppose i would consider using one in the car even though i would feel a bit of a prat when I wasn't using it [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I think it may be because they make people look like pretentious plonkers? I think blokes feel they look a bit cool with them........ And obviously women have more style and know they so don't look cool.........[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Katie Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I think they look especially cool when teamed with the old keys hanging from the belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Well I'm a bloke and I don't have one, no prawn in the ear for me thank you. If I'm driving and the phone goes off then it gets ignored. If it's that important then leave a message or send a txt. I lived 90% or more of my life without being at the beck and call of instant communications that I don't feel I need it now. ooops edit: terrible spelling mistakes, my typing is awful today!

Another way for those in authority to keep track of who's where...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyn_Paul Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I spent the last years of my working life at the beck and call ofanyone in the office who thought they had a legitimate reason to ringme at any hour of the day and night, and thought I was most odd when Itold them that I was in the habit of putting the phone in my bag in theboot when I drove from Birmingham (home) to London (base) eachday. When I retired I couldn't get rid of the damn thing fastenough! We keep one now for breakdowns etc.Which reminds me....Any sign of a network PAG deal from anyone which isn't time-limited? Thought NRJ was too good to be true!p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkster Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I use Virgin PAYG and you get 3 months credit life (6 months incoming calls) for 10 euros, which is much better than my old provider SFR which was 25 euros for 60 days and 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyps Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Wish I could use Virgin - the orange signal is next to useless at our house... Stuck with SFR and regular top-ups.I saw a female using a bluetooth headset the other day - it is so rare I actually noticed her, my wife says they are a bloke thing[;-)]. I use a carmunicator http://www.carmunicate.com/ which connects the phone to the car audio and works really well without hanging anything from my ear - but I do look like I am talking to myself (having had various hands-free phones for the last 15 years I don't have a problem with that anymore!
