The use of any hand held electronic equipment without a cradle is illegal. I honestly can’t believe that people are still using their phones whilst driving. Facebook can wait!
The ignorance about mobile phone law, with 21% not realising it is
illegal to check Facebook and Twitter while driving,
according to the RAC. Its research also found that more
than one-in-ten (12%) do not know that texting and
driving is illegal. Ignorance about texting at the wheel of a stationary car with the engine on is higher still with 61% not realising it is against the law. It is therefore an offence to use a hand-held mobile phone or smartphone when the vehicle is stopped at traffic lights, is stationary in a traffic jam or is parked with the engine running.
But the survey found that nearly half (47%) of motorists think it acceptable to
use a mobile phone while sat in traffic lights or stuck in congestion.
If you want to use it, PARK UP (legally), ENGINE OFF and then pick it up.
