Touching your mobile phone while driving could cost you £1,000
Next week a loud siren-like noise will sound from all UK phones as the government tests its emergency alert system, including the devices of those who are behind the wheel.
James explains that the notification requires you to switch it off manually, touching your phone could put you in violation of rule 149 of the Highway Code. It continues: "If you are driving, you should continue to drive and not respond to the noise or attempt to pick up the mobile phone and deal with the message. Find somewhere safe and legal to stop before reading the message.
