Many of us sneak a glance at our phones behind the wheel in England, Scotland, or Wales but are you guilty of using your phone while driving? It could cost you up to 6 points on your license and a £200 fine. You could also lose their licence if you passed your driving test within the last 2 years.
When you put it into perspective taking a life to answer a call or send a text message, it is never worth taking the risk. If there is an emergency it will only take a few more seconds of your time to pull over and check your phone and potentially save a life.
The big question is will these laws be enough to stop people in the future or will it just be added to the rising cost of driving and being a vehicle owner. Should this offence not be on the same level as drink driving and not wearing a seat belt? The director of Roadsmart has stated that he fully supports phone awareness courses.
