Tough new penalties target phone-using drivers
Motorists that break the law by using a mobile phone while driving face tough new penalties under new government legislation. For the first time the fixed penalty will include three points added to a driving license plus a £60 fine. Transport Secretary Douglas Alexander said: “Worryingly, while 92 per cent of people agree with the law, 21 per cent of drivers admit to breaking it. That is why, from 27 February , the Road Safety Act will introduce a tougher fixed penalty.”
