The Law Relating To Mobile Phone Driving Offences

The government put new legislation into effect in 2007 making using a mobile phone or a similar device a motoring offence. This offence can also include other handheld items such as satellite navigation systems, laptops and so forth.

Our motoring solicitors have a great deal of experience in mobile phone offence matters and we ensure to look at all of the facts surrounding your case in order to provide the best possible outcome. If you can show that you were using your mobile phone due to an emergency, and it was dangerous or unreasonable to stop, this can be used as mitigation.

If you are overseeing a provisional driver and you are a passenger in the vehicle, and you are using your mobile phone, this too can amount to a mobile phone offence.

Punishment for Mobile Phone Offences

If you have been caught committing a mobile phone offence, you could receive three penalty points. You could also be issued with a fine of up to £1000. If you have been caught committing this offence and you are driving a vehicle for 8 or more people, you could be issued with a fine of up to £2500.
