Stricter laws governing the use of mobile phones while driving have come into effect, making it illegal to use a handheld device at the wheel in nearly all circumstances
Those behind the wheel will still be able to make contactless payments at locations such as drive-throughs as long as their vehicle is stationary.
Transport secretary Grant Shapps said strict changes were being introduced to bolster safety, closing a loophole where drivers could claim they were not using their phone for"interactive communication" - a rule that was written before the widespread adoption of smartphones. The new laws were proposed in parliament in November 2021, following a public consultation in which 81% of respondents supported tougher measures.
The laws will be communicated to the public in England and Wales through an £800,000 communications campaign through on-demand video platforms, radio and social media.
