It's not if I read the ticker, I has read the ticker and gave this link to an articel from 2006-12-04 http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/81970 > Now, the Adac > article claims that it's ok to use a mobile, if you don't have to pick > it up.

The ADAC is not the law instance in Germany and when you look into the source of the page of the ADAC: <!-- Publishing Time Stamp: 02.06.2006 11:17:56--> The curt dicision from December is new and extend the older interpretation of the German Handy-law - the ADAC page is outdated in this point > > NO, please read: > > http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/81970 > > Right - with voice control you don't need to touch it. > > This court decision from Dezember changed things a little bit. > It talks about working with a PDA. Not touching.

Yes, but they doing lobbing for the car drivers - so when there is a pittfall intow today law, that the gererall aproval expires when a GSM mobil is used insinde without an external antenna - the ADAC wouldn't publish this on that page - it would harm may ADAC members when the police starts controlling this. So I just gave the hint that "no external antenna" is no thechnicaly problem, but it could maybe by given law becomming a pittfall. A small connector for an external antenna - or asking some real experts (not ADAC) would help.
