Mobile phone laws are changing. Don’t get caught out by losing your licence.

Mobile phone laws are changing. Don’t get caught out by losing your licence.

It’s no secret that the authorities are trying to crack down on wreckless and irresponsible driving habits.  According to the BBC, “In 2015 – the latest year for which figures are available – 22 people were killed and 99 seriously injured in accidents where a driver was using their phone”. So it’s no wonder that it’s time to change a habit that has crept in causing major upset on our roads, and serious consequence to our families and loved ones.

As of 1 March, penalties for using a phone at the wheel double to six points and a £200 fine.  New drivers who get six points or more must retake their practical and theory tests. More experienced drivers can be banned if they get 12 points in three years.  It is serious – and it’s time to become vigilant.

There is only so much that you as a concerned parent or authority can do – and then you need to rely on technology to help you.  Motorsparks is proud to work with some of the best telecommunication suppliers in the industry – and whether you’re looking for a solution for a hands-free kit, or whether you’re looking for in-vehicle monitoring systems – we can help find you what you need.

With the mobile-related vehicle incidents on the rise, it’s important for you to be able to look out for your own loved ones – and that’s where good quality dash cameras serve as your eyes and ears when you are not present.  Unfortunately – the “cheap and cheerful” options you get from mainstream retailers sometimes simply don’t suffice – and so often it takes something as serious as a vehicle collision to realise that you should have invested in a high quality solution that simply won’t let you down.
