Theres a huge difference between glancing at their phone to check the time or the date or similar and having a loooong conversation, but a fine is a fine, these a&&eholes don't care how absurd the offence was .
@dansuperbee3321 : I guess there must be multi-story office blocks full of woke idiots hatching money making scams. My once great country is not a good place to live these days and it's about to get worse.
Mobile phones have always been a no no when driving but all these new cars that have a big touch screen built into your car that controls all your heaters, radios, sat nav and many other settings is ok 🤔🤔
my thoughts exactly, teslas for one , big tv screen on the dashboard , talk about not concentrating on the road and keeping hands on the steering wheel
But the fine and points are the same for picking it up to check the time ,or seeing if it's on, to yapping on it for endless minutes. But a fine is a fine ,to the money grabbers.
Unfortunately in some parts of the country if people parked on the road fully ie not on the curb, no one will ever get past unless it’s a motorbike that is, but everyone else including emergency vehicles are completely screwed if you want to get past or around the vehicle parked legally.
Ditto. Flew out in 1979. Never going back. Too stressful living there even back then, and I could see that it was only going to continue to decline. Far too many people and too much traffic. Thankfully declined positions in South Africa and Canada, because I could see them going the same way.
What about people parking opposite drives, we have idiots in our road that park opposite my drive, making it difficult to get on or off, some people use their brains and park half on and half off the curb, does this mean that they will be liable to a fine now?!!
So where's everyone going to park when your not allowed over the pavement..there's 1000 of streets where if your not over the kerb you would completely block the road .where are you expected to park..ridiculous
Everything happening in Britain these days suggest the best way for everyone is to cover their face, driving and walking anywhere. Is this why the burkas becoming so popular. No more fines.
These bureaucrats cant figure a way to promote new business, as such they harras and bother people about there daily business.... To meny burocrats not enough innovators.... Thom in Scotland.
I was once in a car with my boss going down the M1 he had a built in car phone and made a long call hands free. For the whole of that 30 minute call he sat in the middle lane doing 60mph totally oblivious to all the pissed off drivers having to get round him.
But they won't. They'll just rub their hands together with the extra fines, you parking your car ,is your problem - not theirs, that's how they see it.......
You might be surprised about what I’m about to share. I definitely was. They now have made parking lanes one on the road and one on the footpath for people to park their cars on. That sounds weird given this law right. But wait for this next part. The footpath is in front of houses with driveways. In other words, you can’t get you car out of your driveway, because there is a parking section made on your footpath, throughout the entire road. I was confused when i first saw it. I thought they must be bike lanes or something. Nope.
It’s about time , I was fed up getting held up at traffic lights with drivers on their phones.if some is reading texts they are not reading the traffic lights.
Not a bot but I am a HGV driver, who was constantly held up by stationary drivers on their phones. I had two drives crashing into the back of vehicle without braking because they were on mobile phones . Drivers should be fined heavily for using mobile phones whilst driving my advice to you is reduce your drug intake.
The Tesla car is a potential future fine magnet then With that ridiculous big screen and seemingly nothing can be done without tapping it, ie, heating, demisting, radio, sat nav adjustments etc
I live in a town in the middle of the north island of NZ, population around 15,000. The only time that we see traffic lights is when roadworks are occurring. State highway #1, the main road that goes from the far north to the bottom of the island runs through town. After driving for 52 years I finally got my first traffic fine last year. $30 for going10km too fast in an 80km stretch of road. Sod living like you people. Too stressful.
Catch up ! No parking on pavements in most of Scotland...........about time too. they act in Scotland as a speed limiter and again adds safety to all of us.
Parking on the pavement was always illegal until the police handed the responsibility to the local Council. In fact, it is still illegal, but the council doesn't enforce it because collecting the fines is too much trouble. I'm sure parking on the wrong side of the road is still illegal; you must face the same way the traffic flows.
Why are people so attached to their mobile phones and feel they require their constant attention? I'm reminded of the Japanese teenagers during the tamagotchi craze that were devastated and shedding tears of grief when their devices 'died' . I would place restrictions and fines on idiots using phones and being mobile in any way, this includes walking in the street. I'm sick of having to sidestep to avoid zombies texting on their phones in busy streets. I've actually had a woman stumble across the bonnet of my stationary car while texting in a supermarket car park.
In 2022, 22 people were killed, and 652 were injured in road accidents in Great Britain, where using a mobile phone was a contributing factor. Distracted driving is responsible for around 10% of road accidents that result in severe injuries or fatalities.
So 2 people were killed due to the phone. That’s it. And what chance does this law have to address those 2 incidents? Next to none. Just more restrictions on safer drivers.
I can't understand how cars with screens that need to be used to adjust things like the ventilation and heated seats it's destracting you from the road that should be banned.
Thousands of people have well over 12 points on their licence but are still driving around as they plead 'hardship' would be caused if they couldn't drive ...
Ah but the green idea changes in April as laws will stand for green Vehicles too because now insurance on Green vehicles have gone up and certain places they are NOW not going to be allowed to park because of the Charging fire and actual fire risks. Insurance companies are already stating they will not insure house garage for electric cars ask them first before buying an electric car.
The principle being, that governments will use any excuse to always go after for cash anybody they think has any money, to give to either themselves, or to their new imported voters who will vote for them in perpetuity.
The green number plates are so all the electric cars can park together to reduce the risk of them setting fire to everybody else’s petrol or diesel cars WIN WIN for your insurance
I completely agree. I'm hoping this rule change will either not come in or will be very specific to areas with signs like city's and not residential because alot of houses are not designed for people having cars so it just wouldn't be possible in my opinion.
I’m interested in the mandatory speed limiter that would be fitted to all cars by 2022 I have a 14 plate but I’m still with out any speed restriction ? Is this still going to be enforced? Please 🙏🏾 let me know, kind regards thank you
I was putting my 12.9 “ I pad on charge outside Aldi when I was stationary with engine on at the car park ready to leave I got pulled by young police officer I didn’t plea guilty I wasn’t on the public road I’m waiting for a hearing in Magistrate’s Court for some time now do you think I have a chance to get away with this or no excuse and 6 points + £200 ?
Up until Thatchers government made changes to the Highways Acts and Road Traffic Acts in the 1980's it was illegal to park on the pavement nationwide, London just retained it as a by-law.
I'm from India where Traffic rules are mere guidelines(for both people and police). Your driving is fine unless you hit someone/something. There is a complete disregard for right of way. I didn't even know something like 'Right of way' exists until I had discovered UK driving videos and courses. Some people want change but 95% of people are proud about how they drive. Sad
I went past a mobile camera with loud music, will he fine me for that or is it just if you get pulled over? Driving for 12 year with no offences lt will be ridiculous if this is what I get points for. 4pm on country roads passing through a small village with no one around other than the other road users. Any help would be grand,
So josh , I read that points stay valid for 3 years but stay on for 4 , could you clarify what that means , I got 3 points just under 2 years ago , am I back to zero and in the clear in 1 year then ? And the extra year is just for idk visibility purposes and nothing to worry about in terms of the number I have
No - locking your mobile in the boot or out of reach isn't a particularly good idea because you could need to use it if you have an accident or serious incident during which you cannot leave the driving seat for some reason. I put it in the arm rest or side door if I am not using it as a GPS and just ignore it if it rings. Having the ability to get it in emergency situations could mean the difference between life or death.
Hi mate I want to ask u about something. I have European driving license. I have got a penalty ticket for black tints -6 points in total. When I’m gonna change my europian driving license for British driving licence. How many points I will have ? 12 -6 =6 ? Or I will start with 6 points -6 =0 so I will lost my driving license?
I don't think theres any standardisation or agreements between countries on how (or even if) points are given out - e.g. if I got fined for speeding in Germany, I wouldn't get points on my UK licence. So I think it stands to reason points wouldn't transfer either as there's no agreed way to do it fairly. I suspect you'll be given a clean licence. But would be interesting to hear from someone who knows for sure.
@@spinner4148 hi mate and thanks for answering the comment. I spoke with dvla and they send me this I appreciate you contacting us. When you exchange your licence, the points will transfer over. In the UK, only if convicted of 12 penalty points or more within a 3 year period will you usually be disqualified. If your current record has 6 points, you have a further 6 points before the courts will look to impose a disqualification. I trust this is of assistance.
Hey Joro, they have not come to definite decision quite yet although it is expected soon. They have however given the go ahead for a clean air zone just not a diesel car ban yet.
Well, all I can say is totally out of date if the mobile phone one is anything to go by. Been £200 +6pnts for long enough for R v BARETTO to reach the supreme court (for want of a better description) in Sept 2019. Currently interactive communication needs to be proved for this charge. Holding you phone will Still be applicable to driving without due care & attention or driving not in a position to be in proper control.
I have a solution to speeding it is if the speed limits made more sense no one would speed 70 mph on the motorway has been in place since the 60s when cars would only just do that speed and brake from that speed so why can’t we go 80 to 100 now when the cars are capable of that speed and definitely capable of stopping with disc brakes now when at the time it was drum brakes
Not a bad idea Sam problem is their are so many more cars it's getting harder and harder to go faster. Everyone would actually get everywhere far quicker if busy junctions everyone stuck to 50mph
Stopping isn't everything though. Reaction times haven't improved (probably worse with distractions - phones, in car systems etc) plus there's survivability in the case of an accident to consider as well (not just for the speeder but if they e.g. rear end stopped traffic the other road users as well)
The 70 limit came out on Dec 5th 1968 when cars could barely do 70... Motorways should have 100mph limit, its totally safe except for idiots the tailgate and change lane rashly... German autobarn you can do 170 if your cars able and they don't have much trouble with crashes. 70 is ridiculous as are the size of the 1950's measurements for car parking bays.. Cars are a lot bigger today and it's near impossible to park safe... Hence I use disabled bays a lot as they are much bigger 😉
@@MayYouLiveLongAndProsper my maestro failed for shock absorbers at Council test garage & I had a month to sort it out, maybe it depends on whats failed 🤔
@@iantheinventor8151 I am speaking as a retired MOT tester ... After the car has failed you have one month to take advantage of the reduced re-test fee YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR LEGALLY DURING THIS PERIOD EXCEPT TO AND FROM THE TEST CENTRE using the shortest possible route ... if it takes longer than one month to fix the car you have to re-take the test
Im very strict on the mobile phone rules too with driving but not being allowed to have your phone on your lap? That’s not fair or acceptable. Just because you could commit a crime doesn’t mean that you did. If they cared about safety, these new bright headlights and touch screens would have been banned already.
Get a handsfree kit. They are £200. A Tom-tom go is £99. Buy both and you are probably still ahead of a fine I have a 9 year old van and its got hands free AND Sat Nav. There is NO reason to have your phone anywhere near you in a car whilst driving. And it's a great "shaddup" to the cops if they try to pull you for phone use and you produce it from the boot.
Another law I’ve just been reading about £2,000 fine for leaving your car in gear when parked up what bloody difference does it make we’ll be getting fines next for leaving your windows slightly open this country is getting pathetic.
What’s bullshit about EV’s being branded zero emissions is, the emissions are connected to the power station used to charge the vehicle and not coming out the back of your car

The parking thing is down to the local council, many areas allow it due to necessity. Glad to clarify.
LOCK UP STARMER?!
Josh, i dont live in UK, and i NEVER use or answer my mobile while driving, but MOST other people DO, and all the evidence is there.
I’ve never heard of anyone being caught with a mobile in their hands
I'm from India where Traffic rules are mere guidelines(for both people and police). Your driving is fine unless you hit someone/something. There is a complete disregard for right of way. I didn't even know something like 'Right of way' exists until I had discovered UK driving videos and courses. Some people want change but 95% of people are proud about how they drive. Sad
I totally agree that holding mobile while driving wrong BUT hands free? I'll have to stop listening to the radio 📻.
What car is that in the background?
What if the car has stop start and it’s stopped
Effectively the car is still running. Take the key out or 'stop' the engine and take off your seatbelt.
Only a factor fitted hands free is legal to use in your car NO bluetooth headsets
What does ADI mean on your none visible red badge . Green L Plates have been legal in Northern Ireland for years 😢
points and fines , points and fines , is that ALL they know to control us with
You say touching a mobile phone in any way is illegal - even in a dash mounted cradle?
You can't have your phone in your hand, yet there are still taxi drivers using hand-held radio microphones. Double standards?
I went past a mobile camera with loud music, will he fine me for that or is it just if you get pulled over? Driving for 12 year with no offences lt will be ridiculous if this is what I get points for. 4pm on country roads passing through a small village with no one around other than the other road users. Any help would be grand,
Hey San Miguel, I'm sure you will be fine. They don't measure noise only speed so as long as you weren't Speeding.
The government will create any excuse to get money from the people.
I have got 6 points on my license because I used to work with motorcycle normal insurance and I passed my driving test few days ago what should I do?
the intelligent speed assistance illustration says "Driver can override system by pushing harder on the accelerator" wtf? 🥴
Wot about the cars that drive around with those big bore exhausts with the awful noise of over revving whilst on their phones they need points
I live in Germany. Do I need a green (insurance) Card when I come to the UK ?
the( government)money money money it's a rich man's world 😢😢😢
So josh , I read that points stay valid for 3 years but stay on for 4 , could you clarify what that means , I got 3 points just under 2 years ago , am I back to zero and in the clear in 1 year then ? And the extra year is just for idk visibility purposes and nothing to worry about in terms of the number I have
No - locking your mobile in the boot or out of reach isn't a particularly good idea because you could need to use it if you have an accident or serious incident during which you cannot leave the driving seat for some reason. I put it in the arm rest or side door if I am not using it as a GPS and just ignore it if it rings. Having the ability to get it in emergency situations could mean the difference between life or death.
Hi mate I want to ask u about something. I have European driving license. I have got a penalty ticket for black tints -6 points in total. When I’m gonna change my europian driving license for British driving licence. How many points I will have ? 12 -6 =6 ? Or I will start with 6 points -6 =0 so I will lost my driving license?
I don't think theres any standardisation or agreements between countries on how (or even if) points are given out - e.g. if I got fined for speeding in Germany, I wouldn't get points on my UK licence. So I think it stands to reason points wouldn't transfer either as there's no agreed way to do it fairly. I suspect you'll be given a clean licence. But would be interesting to hear from someone who knows for sure.
@@spinner4148 hi mate and thanks for answering the comment. I spoke with dvla and they send me this
I appreciate you contacting us.
When you exchange your licence, the points will transfer over.
In the UK, only if convicted of 12 penalty points or more within a 3 year period will you usually be disqualified.
If your current record has 6 points, you have a further 6 points before the courts will look to impose a disqualification.
I trust this is of assistance.
@@spinner4148 There is an agreement between Ireland and the UK, points can be transferred between both countries.
The laws are only applicable in England and Wales
Very useful info. Is Bristol still banning diesel cars?
Hey Joro, they have not come to definite decision quite yet although it is expected soon. They have however given the go ahead for a clean air zone just not a diesel car ban yet.
They need to ban EV’s they are Shite.
Mr `Ramwell` the ..driving instructor...😅
Put it on Airplane Mode.
'Swankey'... thats very nearly what i was thinking
Does this Range Rover use paddle shifters?
It does have paddle shifters but I don't really use them except accidentally when I knock them and end up driving at 30 in first gear😂
I have Apple Music on my phone plugged into my head unit , while driving hope that’s ok .
is that you call your brain...LOL
And if you parked ??
Get a "Handsfree" head set ... How simple is that but even better switch your phone off ...
Well, all I can say is totally out of date if the mobile phone one is anything to go by. Been £200 +6pnts for long enough for R v BARETTO to reach the supreme court (for want of a better description) in Sept 2019. Currently interactive communication needs to be proved for this charge.
Holding you phone will Still be applicable to driving without due care & attention or driving not in a position to be in proper control.
Cheers Paul👍
could be from the squad car behind you
The Mobile Phone law treats everybody as if they as incompetent as those who made the law.
Stop/Start system in traffic..engine off ?
Exactly
If Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is available in your car, use it.
I love the apple play works really well.
I see you have Huawej.
Do not move over for emergency vehicles
I have a solution to speeding it is if the speed limits made more sense no one would speed 70 mph on the motorway has been in place since the 60s when cars would only just do that speed and brake from that speed so why can’t we go 80 to 100 now when the cars are capable of that speed and definitely capable of stopping with disc brakes now when at the time it was drum brakes
Not a bad idea Sam problem is their are so many more cars it's getting harder and harder to go faster. Everyone would actually get everywhere far quicker if busy junctions everyone stuck to 50mph
Stopping isn't everything though. Reaction times haven't improved (probably worse with distractions - phones, in car systems etc) plus there's survivability in the case of an accident to consider as well (not just for the speeder but if they e.g. rear end stopped traffic the other road users as well)
The 70 limit came out on Dec 5th 1968 when cars could barely do 70... Motorways should have 100mph limit, its totally safe except for idiots the tailgate and change lane rashly... German autobarn you can do 170 if your cars able and they don't have much trouble with crashes.
70 is ridiculous as are the size of the 1950's measurements for car parking bays.. Cars are a lot bigger today and it's near impossible to park safe... Hence I use disabled bays a lot as they are much bigger 😉
Disc brakes don't reduce stopping distance especially in the wet. Disc brakes prevent brake fade due the brakes over heating in hard use
the cars might be safer but the selfish gits driving them...thats a no
Always book MOT one month early, if car passes you get 13 month MOT. If car fails you have a month to sort it out.
Does it not show as failed month early?
@@sebicse3524 never did for me, always went to the Council test garage because they don’t do any work & won’t find work that doesn’t need doing 🤔
WRONG ... The failed MOT has effect from the date and time of the test even if it was 30 days before your current MOT expired
@@MayYouLiveLongAndProsper my maestro failed for shock absorbers at Council test garage & I had a month to sort it out, maybe it depends on whats failed 🤔
@@iantheinventor8151 I am speaking as a retired MOT tester ... After the car has failed you have one month to take advantage of the reduced re-test fee YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR LEGALLY DURING THIS PERIOD EXCEPT TO AND FROM THE TEST CENTRE using the shortest possible route ... if it takes longer than one month to fix the car you have to re-take the test
If car manufacturers were se serious about this then why include dashboard scrrens etc into the dashboard where netflix etc can be watched,,,,,,,
I agree with the phone thing. Hands free is a thing in 2024.
Im very strict on the mobile phone rules too with driving but not being allowed to have your phone on your lap? That’s not fair or acceptable. Just because you could commit a crime doesn’t mean that you did. If they cared about safety, these new bright headlights and touch screens would have been banned already.
@ZeerakImran apples and oranges
Good stuff. There should be zero tolerance on any distracted driving offences.
Don’t drive, convey in your conveyance your private property 🚘 we are governed by consent, Do Not Consent.
Get a handsfree kit. They are £200. A Tom-tom go is £99.
Buy both and you are probably still ahead of a fine
I have a 9 year old van and its got hands free AND Sat Nav. There is NO reason to have your phone anywhere near you in a car whilst driving.
And it's a great "shaddup" to the cops if they try to pull you for phone use and you produce it from the boot.
You'd spend more time looking at your side view mirror that glancing at your phone.
good info but now out of date keep up to date for your own good
Another law I’ve just been reading about £2,000 fine for leaving your car in gear when parked up what bloody difference does it make we’ll be getting fines next for leaving your windows slightly open this country is getting pathetic.
Source? Because I don't believe this
@@mathisnotforthefaintofheart Me neither. If you have a manual transmission it is policy to leave it in gear when parked, whether on a hill or not.
Not so much policy,as common sense it's an additional safety feature if the handbrake fails.
i have voted for reform makes, & i am rebuilding a web site should be on line at the end of next month.
What’s bullshit about EV’s being branded zero emissions is, the emissions are connected to the power station used to charge the vehicle and not coming out the back of your car
