Nope, works fine.

I used to get him these ones click here but the build quality wasn't the best and he kept breaking them, so I took the official Nokia on he had out of the box and cut the one earphone off it and it's worked fine since.

You cant wear a wired headset of any description whilst driving. It would be the same as driving and listening to an ipod.

Re: handfree wanted, with 1 earpiece only???

I don't know whether this is true or not, is there anywhere online to confirm this?

Only because my dad is a driver for a living and always has the wired headset in his ear and has never been pulled for it. Just want to check it out as don't want him getting points and putting his job in jeopardy.

Id imagine if you trawled the uk traffic laws you'd find it. My mate's a traffic cop and funnily enough found out when he got pulled for it.
