Is it like a scooter license or are you covered under a car license?

Well you guys could always go out in drag, with a nice blond wig and eyelashes when you think you might be tempted use it without hands free and blue tooth......Just practice walking in those sexy high heels, just in case they get you out of the car......and wiggling your hips may help also.......you never know you may even get a date..

OMG I didn't know that! I was thinking of buying one later in the year, not for the drugs you understand

Well you could always make a bit of money on the side if you get desperate, but just don't wear a suit on the ski, as a bit of a give away - I kid you not I've seen someone on one in it...

I can't remember how much it is, It came in when I stopped skiing for a while. What model are you thinking of buying? I'm also going to get one again this year as the last one sunk, a dodgy mechanic. Also they are more expensive in Spain, if you can get one from Belgium they are cheaper - I think it was Belgium. A friend of mine who was in importing nearly brought some in from the States they were so incredibly cheap in comparison, but it didn't happen.

You don't see either on water, well only in the floods...

No you have to do a test on the ski, it's to show you can handle the ski properly as you used to see pillocks hit each other as they didn't know how currents worked. You also have to do a test on what the buoys are etc.... In some ways a money earner and in other ways it gets the idiot and possers to learn to ride properly. Been a few people killed here out of sheer stupidity, also some used to ride to one of the beach pubs and go back to the port totally pissed... I got hit by one when he was fooling around -

Could you pick it up and answer it ?

Or would you be required to stop the vehicle before answering it ?

Or is only hands free allowed ?

advice please ?
same laws as the UK
