ICYMI: Tougher penalties for mobile phone use while driving come into force. Here's what you need to know
A small exemption will be made for contactless payments, such as at toll booths or drive-through restaurants. But this will only apply if the payment is being made via a card reader, and it will not allow motorists to make general online payments while driving.
The Highway Code has been brought up-to-date and adjusted to explain the new measures, and also makes clear that hand-held mobile phone use at traffic lights or in traffic jams is illegal.last year found that 81% of drivers supported a change to the law. Edmund King, president of breakdown provider AA, said:"This is a much needed toughening of the rules to help make our roads safer. Those that believe that they can still play with their phone because it’s in a cradle must think again – they leave themselves open to prosecution for either careless or dangerous driving."
Simon Williams, spokesman for road safety at the RAC, commented that: “We strongly welcome the Government’s strengthening of the law on handheld mobile phone use behind the wheel. As our phones have become more sophisticated, the law has not kept pace and this has allowed some drivers who have been using their handheld phones for purposes other than communicating to exploit a loophole and avoid the maximum penalty.
Research conducted by the RAC earlier this year also found that one-in-10 younger drivers have admitted to taking a photo or video while driving, and 6% said they’ve played a game.
