apparently this is about the Netherlands banning anything but handsfree telephony while driving on 30 march 2002

Rude misreading 

@noiob I know most likely means something innocuous in reality, but that didn't stop me misreading it as "handsfree bellend" :blobfacepalm:

re: Rude misreading 

@Jo "bellen" is using the phone

@noiob automated translation didn't help. Is it also confusing in Dutch?

@sfner I only know extremely basic Dutch, but I think it basically says, "from March 30, if you use hands-free calling, there'll be no trouble" but there's a "hand" pun that doesn't translate ("aan de hand" literally means "in hand")

@sfner okay, it doesn't cleanly translate to "in hand" but it's really close
