New Laws will come in 2022 to close some of the current loopholes in mobile phones use whilst driving and increased fines for repeat offenders

Unsure of the current mobile phone laws? Using a handheld mobile phone when driving or riding is both dangerous and illegal. The law still applies when stopped at traffic lights or queuing in traffic: sysrp.co.uk/mobiles #Mobile #cycling #lawtwitter #RULES CyclingMikey the Unspeakable

If youโ€™re considering leaving the car at home and commuting to work by bike, try doing so a few times a week at first and work up to each day as you get fitter. You may also find it makes you more aware of cyclists on the occasions you drive.

If you kill someone whilst using your mobile phone the courts now have the power to hand out a life sentence to any offenders under new legislation.
