What you need to know about the *NEW* using your mobile phone whilst driving law ?
As of 1st March this year getting caught using your mobile phone whilst behind the wheel is about to get a whole lot more. The current punishment of £100 and 3 points will double so it will be £200 and 6 points.
BUT’s that's not all, it will be under the discretion of the police who could apply for stricter penalty or possible disqualification or revoking of the driving licence if the driver wa...s found guilty of dangerous driving whilst using a phone.
Advice to keep it simple:
- Keep your mobile in a cradle or glove box or just switch it off
- You can not touch the phone if its in a cradle, even if you stop at lights and even if your parked up with the engine on
- If you want to use the sat nav on a mobile or plug the charger in, you must set it up before keys are in the ignition and don not touch it once engine is on
- You can not scroll for tracks on your mobile while driving so have your playlist set up before entering the car
- If you work for Uber or alike, you can not touch the phone when the engine is on. So you can not accept work while your on the move
- Mobile can only be used if your parked up safely with engine off and keys out of ignition (Wireless keys - engine off)
- Death by dangerous driving is now life imprisonment, no longer 14 years
- You can use a mobile via built in-car technology like bluetooth. However, if you do have a collision, it can go against you.
- You can not use headphones
- You can not use loud speaker from your phone
- You can not move your phone while the engine is on
- If you call someone and they are driving, hang up
- If you are a passenger and the driver is using a phone, take it off them and tell them off
- If you are a employer and you force your staff to use a phone, it can result into imprisonment for you, large fines and your company being suspended from operation
- Rules apply to PDAs also
It has stated that one of the reason why this new law has been introduced is due to 2.5 deaths a week due to driver’s using a mobile phone - even the PM Minister Theresa May said she wants to make using a mobile phone at the wheel as socially unacceptable as drink-driving.

Insurance costs are rising at a ridiculous rate and the insurance lobby truly has the governments ear (probably due to some (undeclared) conflicts of interest).
The insurance companies are making millions of pounds legally when in fact the cost of insurance is a lot lower than they would have you believe. If this was run as not for profit by the government insurance costs would be 75% less than you currently pay now.
Sign the petition today to get the government to debate t...his and get insurance costs under control.
