Number of drivers using handheld mobiles is increasing

TRL, the UK's independent Transport Research Laboratory, says an increasing number of drivers are ignoring the potential danger and the penalty of using hand-held mobile phones when driving.

Its latest research shows that more drivers are now breaking the law using hand-held mobile phones than two years ago – and that's despite heavier penalties being introduced in early 2007.

2.6% of car drivers were using hand-held mobiles in 2006. That figure fell to 1.4% the following year after the penalty was increased to a £60 fine and three points added to a driving licence. Yet the number of drivers breaking the law is now higher than before, at 2.8%.
