Since 1 December 2003 it is an offence to use a hand held mobile phone whilst driving a motor vehicle. Offenders will be subject to a £30 fine, which can be increased to a maximum fine of £1000 if the matter goes to court. The Government is planning to legislate to make it an endorseable offence, so that drivers will get three points on their licence each time they are caught holding a phone.

Hands-free phones

Due to enforcement difficulties the department has permitted the use of hands free equipment within the new regulations. Although some respondents considered that further action was needed against hands-free use, the department does not consider that hands-free phones should be prohibited unless they are being held during use.

Fully fitted professional hands-free car kits will be acceptable, however the term hands-free has been used very loosely in respect to other devices such as walk and talk and personal hands-free, definitions of such devices are to be clarified by the department.

The Solution

The safest and sure definition of a hands-free kit is one that is permanently wired into the vehicle (including a cradle or bluetooth type arrangement) and uses one or more speakers permanently fixed in the vehicle. The driver should not have to significantly alter their position in relation to the steering wheel in order to use it. A professional hands-free car kit supplied and installed by A.M.S will ensure you are covered under the new and current laws.
