What's The Law?
Driving has been made safer with the introduction of a new law. From 1 December 2003 it became a specific offence to use a hand-held phone, or similar device, when driving. The penalty is a £60 fixed penalty or up to £1,000 on conviction in court (£2,500 for drivers of goods vehicles, buses or coaches). Drivers still risk prosecution (for failure to have proper control) if they use hands-free phones when driving.
It is illegal to:
Hold a mobile phone while driving, this includes cradling the phone on your shoulder, or holding it by any other means.
Hold a mobile phone any time the car's engine is switched on, even if the car is stationary, whether to make or take calls, send text messages, use Orange World or any other function.
Hold a mobile phone while supervising a learner driver.
Cause or permit anyone else to use a handheld mobile phone while driving.

Exceptions:
This new law doesn't apply if you dial 999 or 112 in response to a genuine emergency and cannot stop safely to make a call.
2-way radios are not covered by this offence but other devices for sending or receiving data (e.g. navigation aids, personal digital assistants (PDAs) or other computer equipment) are covered by the offence if they are held when driving.
It is an offence to cause or permit the use of a hand-held mobile phone when driving or to cause or permit a driver not to have proper control of a vehicle.
Can I still make calls while driving?
You can continue to use handsfree kits while driving as long as the phone is not held while your engine is switched on. Handsfree kits include:
Fully-integrated car kits with cradles
Easy install, for example - a cigarette lighter or car kits with or without cradles
Personal handsfree kits
Bluetooth® headsets
Mobile devices with integrated loudspeakers even if they are not used with any other type of handsfree equipment |
