Although recent reports suggest that most motorists resent others who use hand held phones whilst driving, resorting to gestures and abuse to make their feelings known, the message just isn't getting through. The latest research shows that over 25% of drivers freely admit they break the law on a regular basis whilst at the wheel.
The Road Safety Act will bring about a rise in the fine for hand held mobile phones from £30.00 to £60 together with the introduction of three penalty points. At a recent road safety presentation the Minister indicated that he expected this change to come about towards the end of February 2007.
