Police nationally today start a week clamping down on people who use mobile phones whilst driving, whether texting or calling and speaking to others, stressing how dangerous this is to drivers themselves, and to other road users and pedestrians. Offenders are reminded that if caught they face a £200 fine and 6 points on their licence, newer drivers who have passed their test in the last 2 years face an immediate disqualification! Then, if offenders ignore paying this fine, they face disqualification and a fine of up to £1,000. Indeed, if proven to be guilty of dangerous driving whilst using a mobile, offenders face disqualification and a jail sentence of up to 2 years...
