Mobile Phone Offence Law

The legislation for mobile phone driving offences actually extends beyond the use of a mobile phone whilst driving a vehicle. There are in fact three offences:

  1. The use of a mobile phone by the driver;
  2. Causing or permitting the use of a phone by the driver;
  3. Supervising a provisional licence holder whilst using a mobile phone.

In addition to the use of mobile telephones, the regulations also refer to other ‘handheld devices’ including laptops, tablets, i-pads, or other handheld computers. Mobile phone driving offences actually cover any device that may make or receive a call or perform any other interactive communication function; including devices that are capable of sending or receiving messages, faxes or pictures, or providing access to the internet.

What is important is that, in addition to a fine of up to £1,000 for car drivers and much higher for HGV drivers, the offence carries an obligatory 3 penalty points.
