A Costly Ringtone!
Drivers who are fined for using their mobile whilst driving will now see their insurance premiums go sky high. One insurance company Allianz is the first company to upgrade this offence to careless driving.
Previously this conviction was the same as speeding - £60 fine, 3 penalty points. Watch out, many insurance companies I am sure will follow suit.
It has been illegal to use a mobile phone while driving this came in December 2003.
This last February the original £30 fine was raised to £60 and the driver gets 3 points on their license.
This will bring increased car insurance. The average policy is £629 so if you are convicted of a mobile phone offence your premium could face an increase of £208 per year.
And switching to new insurers may become harder to do.
Very clear evidence suggests you are more likely to have an accident if you use a mobile phone while driving.
