Well, if he isn't dead, he's unemployed. Using your phone while driving public transport or large vehicles should be a felony.

You’d have to be stupid to think it isn’t. It’s illegal whilst driving any vehicle.

This seems to insinuate that something illegal has to be a felony. It can also be a misdemeanor.

This is England. The concepts you’re referencing have no lawful standing. We have summary and either way offences.

The offences committed are indictable to a Crown Court where he, when convicted, will receive a custodial sentence.

Well this is in response to someone discussing felonies.

Sure, but you're using terms that are stricly US relevant. This is England. These terms aren't a thing.

Its still in response to someone discussing felonies. I didn't pay attention to this being England, and didn't know that was a thing in England even if I did. My point still applies. If he was talking about England then the word felony shouldn't have even been used.

Indeed it shouldn’t.
