    DarkKnight got a reaction from admin in The Law on using mobile phone whilst driving   
    CONFIRMED: 
    **6 points and £200 fine for using a mobile whilst driving from 1st March 2017**
    Advice to keep it simple:
    - Keep your mobile in a craddle or glove box
    - You cant touch the phone if its in a craddle, even if you stop at lights and even if your parked up with the engine on
    - If you want to use the sat nav on a mobile or plug the charger in. You must set it up before keys are in the ignition and dont touch it once engine is on
    - You cant scroll for tracks on your mobile while driving so have your playlist set up before entering the car
    -  If you work for Uber or alike, you cant touch the phone when the engine is on. So you cant accept work while your on the move
    - Mobile can only be used if your parked up safely with engine off and keys out of ignition (Wireless keys - engine off)
    - Death by dangerous driving is now life imprisonment, no longer 14 years
    - You can use a mobile via built in-car technology like bluethooth. However, if you do have a collision, it can go against you.
    - You cant use headphones 
    - You cant use loud speaker from your phone
    - You cant move your phone while the engine is on 
    - If you call someone and they are driving, hang up
    - If you are a passenger and the driver is using a phone, take it off them and tell them off
    - If you are a employer and you force your staff to use a phone, It can result into imprisonment for you, large fines and your company being suspended from operation 
    - Rules apply to PDAs also
