Yes, and even while stationary in traffic queues, such as at traffic lights. Do they also cover BlackBerrys and personal digital assistants? Yes. Is two-way radio equipment covered? No. Do they cover motorcyclists? Yes. People supervising L-drivers are also covered. What about cyclists? They are not covered, but those using phones could still be prosecuted for careless cycling. Are there any exceptions? Drivers may call 999 in a genuine emergency where it would be unsafe to stop. What about hands-free mobiles? Using these is not illegal, but the same penalties apply if a driver is distracted while making a call and does not keep proper control of their vehicle. What if I do not accept the fixed-penalty charge? If the case goes to court, the maximum fine is 1 New Balance Running Shoes,000, or 2,500 for van, lorry New Air Jordans, bus and coach drivers. How would police prove who was using a hand-held phone if they did not stop the driver? A letter would be sent to the vehicle owner. If the owner refuses to say who was driving, they could be charged with not co-operating with police. Corroboration would be provided by two police officers, which could be backed by cameras. Must police prove a driver was actually making a call? No. Can police foot patrols also act? Yes, either by stopping a driver or reporting them for prosecution. Are employers liable for prosecution? Yes. Police say that employers who require staff to make or receive calls while they are driving on business could face action. |
