UK police warn drivers of £200 fines and 6 penalty points for handheld phone use while driving.

UK police warn drivers about the £200 fine and 6 penalty points for taking hands off the steering wheel to use phones. Drivers cannot have their phones in hand, even for directions; they must be in a holder. Brake charity states that handheld phone use, even during traffic stops, is illegal unless for emergency 999/112 calls. Failing to adhere to these guidelines can lead to accidents and legal consequences.
