Drivers caught using a mobile phone behind the wheel face a £200 fine and six penalty points on their licence.
This applies even if you’re stopped at traffic lights or stuck in traffic.
If you’re a new driver and accumulate six or more points within two years of passing your test, you’ll lose your licence.
Even celebrities aren’t immune, as rapper Stormzy was banned from driving for nine months and fined £2,010 after admitting to using his phone while driving.
A simple £1.99 gadget from Home Bargains that clips onto your car can prevent you from holding your phone while driving, helping you avoid hefty fines and making your journey safer.
