Using phone driving to increase to 6 points & £200 fine

[jakesmith]

I actually think this will make a difference. New drivers face disqualification in their first 2 years for starters so that tricles through as they get older. Whilst the police may not have all the resource they need to detect, for people who need their licence for their job or who already have 3 or 6 points which many do, this is now much higher risk.

I have bluetooth and nav in both my cars but occasionally use my phone - I wouldn't touch it if this becomes law though
