Nearly 300 new drivers have received automatic driving bans for using their mobile phones as they drive, because the law was toughened up earlier in the year.
Last March, 2017, the penalty for using your phone whilst driving was increased to six penalty points, which is enough to get you a driving ban if you have less than two years full licence experience.
To regain your licence means retaking and passing both the theory and hazard tests and the driving test itself. What a drag!
Remember the time and money it cost you to qualify in the first place, so keep your phone in the glove box, use a "do not disturb" app, or keep it switched off when you are driving.
Your phone will be busier at this time of the year, with friends getting in touch, so resist it while you are on the road. Keep it safe, minimise the risk!
Warm Regards,
Tom Lowe.
