As part of the government’s new Road Safety Plan, drivers caught using a hand held mobile device whilst at the wheel are to face tougher penalties. Fines are set to rise from the current £100 to £150 and extra penalty points could be added to driving licenses. HGV drivers caught using their phones whilst driving could face a maximum of six penalty points, double the current limit of three.
