Opposition Leader Bill Shorten caught using phone while driving


OPPOSITION Leader Bill Shorten has been caught on camera using his mobile phone while driving.

The video, obtained by the Herald Sun, shows the Labor leader using his phone for at least six seconds as he drives along Kings Way at 40km/h.

Mr Shorten said he did not recall why he was using his phone but admitted he shouldn’t have been doing it.

“Like most drivers, I always try to do the right thing,” Mr Shorten said last night.

“But there’s no doubt that using your phone while driving is the wrong thing to do — there’s no excuse for it. I shouldn’t have done it and won’t do it again.”

He had just dropped his children off at music practice when the video was captured. He could not rule out that he was texting at the time.

Well emergency services can, surely...

breaking news.

I haven't had any traffic or parking infringement in 30 years, yes I sill drive, I'm 56.

I don't even own a mobile, but if emergency services have an exception, so would the PM and L of the O. We'll see what they spin out of it.

If he was a Lib, he would have been spending hundreds of dollars a day of taxpayers' money on a driver.

Get your poo together Set.
OK
The office of the person can over-ride a law that you must comply with. Emergency workers are an example. If they are excluded from that law, do you think pollies will think themselves below them?

The less people that do it the better.

A non-issue.

Nothing to see here.

Move along, please...

what an absolute disgrace and you are 100% right

you have to wonder about the last crash he had, the police should have investigated it and confiscated his phone

how anyone can excuse or defend this is unbelievable!!

He should be fined.

I didn't know we had a road safety board here?

Would appear that Billy is a bit of a goat behind the wheel..... :D

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/opposition-leader-bill-shorten-crashes-car-in-melbourne-20151117-gl0pa1.html

He should stand down as Leader of the Opposition for this. How can he claim to be the alternative Pm when he can't even stop from breaking the law?

Poll. Should Shorten resign as Leader of the Opposition?

We seem to have two road safety topics posted under politics ?

Where should this be moved to ?

EVERYONE , and I mean EVERYONE who works in a mobile environment in this day and age has answered the phone or read a text message, at some point, while driving. Anyone who says they haven't is lying.

Too right, a couple of my customers wore those handsfree mobile phones clipped to their ear, don’t tell me they never talk on that phone while driving.

handfree is fine for talking, but if you're trying to do a deal and waiting for a reply someone to reply and your phone beeps to tell you that you've received an SMS, 99% of people will read the sms while driving.

it has already been proved when talking on a phone you are not concentrating on the driving.....

I think its the same with those maps as well...people make sudden moves....they are all a distraction...you use a map when going to a place you are unfamiliar with...stands to reason there are more than  road signs you need to be looking out for... what ever happened to using ones brain and working it out before the trip.

whats wrong with turning the phone off??....

they would not have brought in a law if phones were not a cause of accidents....

maybe you dont take any notice but a lot of children are dead because of mobile phone use whilst driving.. I thought it would make an impression on you... my error.

When I was 18, my girlfriend died while using her phone in the car in a collision with a Pantech truck. I didn't yet have my licence at that time but I have NEVER, not once in my entire life, used or even looked at my phone while driving. One time it rang while I was driving and I instinctively looked down at the passenger seat at it for a split second then looked back at the road realising it was dangerous to look down there. From that time on, I always had my phone on silent and if anyone called or texted me, they could wait until I finished my journey. I don't plan on getting myself or someone else killed/hurt because I wasn't giving the road my full attention. I couldn't forgive myself if that happened.

you can see the error of the whole thing when you have been involved cant you.?? I am sorry to hear that.. we have of course no way of knowing the dangers of the past.. but I am sure they wouldnt have brought in a law to stop it   if it wasnt worth it..

will we stop the IDIOTS that still break the LAW>. of course we wont..

but we do expect MORE FROM OUR LEADERS... well at least Libs do..

sorry to see how flippant our lefty friends are.. when it comes to one of their own...no thats not true..

they are all about supporting their own no matter what....even stealing is worth supporting..

shortarse can do no wrong......he will be there next election getting their full support.

you're a nurse ... you don't work on the road. Any call you are likely to get is personal. It's not the same for people who work from place to place, and rely on their phone for their business.

The ambo would be using it to save a life. Shorten would be using it to save his arse.

Well, It has to be firmly secured to the vehicle. Poor Bill's doesn't appear to be affixed to anything but his hand.

It must be used as a driver's aid. that is minor details like address to which to respond. We wouldn't want them to go to the wrong address, so some poor bugger died, would we?

Can you now see why there is that latitude?

Sure, I can see the latitude quite clearly.  Not dangerous at all if an Ambo does it.....dangerous if 'Shorten' does it.

(I'm not defending Shorten as the Law is clear..........just making obvious commentary on the hypocrisy the Law enshrines.)

Here ya go.  Shorten put up his hand, and fined (via ticket.)

It may or may not be. Generally emergency services have a crew of 2. It would not generally be the driver who was reading the information.

It is there in case of a one person response. Is it dangerous? Yes. Is it demonstrably more dangerous to attend the wrong address?

We don't have GPS tracking. I believe it is in the pipeline, but as a volunteer service, we are at the end of the queue. I don't see a date when the law was promulgated.

Unless of course that in the case of an ambo, one of them is giving CPR to some poor bastard that's been hit by an ALP politician that was texting someone to save his own arse, while the other is phoning ahead to the hospital.

Dear Cods,  ( Number 1 )

I just feel that the above is a suitable punishment since
Bill Shorten risked the lives of common people -
those who he has sworn to protect.
He can't claim the title of being an honorable man.

As for Greggy -
what did you expect from a homo?


namaste

since when did Bill the Dill swear to PROTECT anyone???...

have you got that in writing bobs?...

ye god is hes the best we have got.. stop the world I wanna get off.

I am assuming that he has sworn to protect us all.

Maybe I'm wrong -

Like he swore to protect the workers of the mushroom farm and the cleaners? Greggy being the good union lackey that he is should be able to fill you in on Bills protection racket and how he arranged it.

How can politicians call themselves honorable?

Honorable people don't do what they do.

How can Greg live with himself, excusing Shortens raping, while lying about other accusations against the coalition.

Worst scum on earth.

I see no one here has called out the f-wit videoing ol' Billy boy on his phone...I reckon they would have been far more distracted from the driving conditions than Billy trying to keep him square in the frame.

Maybe you should stand in the corner while we discus your f-wittery lack of perception...oh no, that's just pure speculation...we need to prove you guilty first before we can confirm that...a bit like any allegations hey Finch, you know that legal standard of innocent until proven guilty...unless I've missed something and we're living in a nationwide gulag and you're the master whippet.

Point out where I excused Shorten in this thread...for that matter point out any thread on OzPol where I've defended Shorten...know your subject or don't throw poo that you can't back up.

Easy done.

One thing to have your face forward, another to have your face sideways to the flow of traffic.

The alternative PM should be held to a higher account than the plebs he purports to represent, don't you think? Or is any excuse good enough for your favoured representative?

Yes, Gweggy being the good little union lackey knows that unions have only sworn to rip off their representatives and  constituents.

You're trying to excuse Billy by using moral equivalence and trying to turn the focus onto those that filmed his illegal act.

Your left wing slip is not only showing, you're flashing it.

It wouldn't matter if it was Mal, I would still say the same. Filmee, filmer...both in the wrong...there is no first prize here.

Anyway, talking of morals, I see you're doing a pretty good job of dropping yours on OzPol, 96 post and counting on your first day signing up, keep it up Finch, we need the troffic. ::)

Shorten should get 20 strokes of the birch on his bare arse in a public square -
broadcast on live TV in prime time -

& then be stripped of his member of parliament status & entitlements.

As a leader he should set the example for all of us to follow.
