The offence of using a phone while driving a car can result in six penalty points and a £200 fine.

Using a mobile phone while driving is one of what police class as the 'fatal four', one of the four biggest dangers while driving.

Speeding, not wearing a seatbelt and drink driving make up the rest of the dangers.
