Mobile phone FAQs


What counts as 'driving'?

Driving is using a motor vehicle on the road and can include when a vehicle is stopped at traffic lights or during a traffic hold-up. Therefore you should not use that time to make or receive a call. Park safely (but not on the motorway hard shoulder) and then use the phone.

A road is legally defined as any road to which the public have access - this includes car parks.
