I'm currently watching a reporter driving around a Labour Leader contender and conducting a full interview with her.

How and in what way is this in any way safe? You are meant to be giving your full concentration to the road, not carrying out an in depth political interview.

    When you have a passenger in the car do you sit in total silence? No radio or music either?

    And it looks like a rip-off of Robert Llewellyn's "Carpool" also.

    Well lots of people take drugs but should the BBC be promoting that as normal safe behaviour?

    And chatting and holding a political interview is two very different things.

    Fact is that you shouldn't be doing anything that takes attention away from driving.

    I think you should write a very stiff complaint. On cardboard.

    Interviewing someone is very different from chatting to a normal passenger. I would say that it is as dangerous as making a mobile phone call.

    Now, when I saw the title of this thread, why did I think it would be about Peter Kay? :)

    The unspoken danger here is the poor soundman and camera operator, hanging onto the bonnet.

    If you think that's dangerous, don't watch this:

    Singing is even more dangerous
