The crackdown on using mobile phones when driving

Over the past few month, we have seen police all over the Country take part in a campaign to highlight the dangers of using a mobile while driving. Unmarked police have been on the watch out for drivers using mobile phones in a recent crackdown.

New legislation is due to come in regarding the use of mobile phones whilst driving in March 2017. Furthermore, this legislation will make significant changes to the current penalties faced by motorists using a mobile whilst driving.

The new legislation in March 2017

Drivers not using a bluetooth hands free kit can currently be fined and issued with three points and a £100 fine.

Under the new legislation, these offenders will be fined £200 and receive six penalty points.

If a new driver has six or more penalty points within two years of passing their test their licence will be removed. Therefore meaning a new driver will lose their licence if caught using their mobile phone whilst driving.

In addition, many drivers have been caught looking at social media, texting on their phones. Other than the new heavier fines and penalties. Not being in proper control of your vehicle can risk your life and other peoples.

What is the current law for using your mobile phone whilst driving?

Under the current UK law, it is illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone or similar device. This includes making calls or sending text messages whilst driving a car or motorcycle. Furthermore, these rules apply even if you are stood waiting in traffic or at traffic lights. If you are caught, you will be fined and given penalty points.

Are there any exceptions?

First of all, there are very few exceptions where a mobile can be used whilst driving.

For example, it is legal to use your phone to call an emergency service in a situation where it is either impractical or unsafe to stop.

Satelite navigation systems and two-way radios are legal to use when at the wheel. Provided you are in full control and not distracted by them.

Mobile phones which are hooked up to Bluetooth hands free kits, which are mounted on the dashboard or elsewhere in the vehicle can be used. Obviously, they are not allowed to be held in your hand at all.
