Don’t Get Dristracted Whilst Driving
April 82010
Whilst mobile phones can offer drivers security and assistance in an emergency, they also offer a distraction if employed when driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
It is now illegal to use a hand-held cellular phone when driving, even when you happen to be in a queue of traffic or stopped at traffic lights. This includes making or receiving calls, txt messages or accessing the Net. Doing so might result in a fixed penalty fine of 30 pounds, rising to a maximum of 1000 pounds (2,500 pounds for drivers of vans, trucks, buses and coaches) if the matter goes to the courtroom.
However, even speaking on a handsfree phone can be distracting and can increase the risk of an accident. Keep calls to an absolute minimum, and stay away from using the phone when conditions are hazardous or traffic is heavy. If you are already on a call, conclude it if traffic conditions dictate.
