UK bans all uses of mobile phones while driving

  > The move may disappoint campaigners who called for ministers to go further and ban the use of hands-free functions while driving. That may have prevented mobiles from being used as sat navs. Road safety is important, but care must be taken no to go over the top.

  'Holding' is the key part of the offense. ..would allow police to take immediate action if they saw a driver holding and using a phone at the wheel. Motorists will still be able to use phones to pay for goods or services at drive-through businesses. ..motorists could still also use phones as satnavs, if not physically holding them. Drivers could still be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention if they try to type in directions at the wheel.
