Drivers wishing to avoid picking up three penalty points for using a hand-held mobile phone whilst driving should not be deceived into thinking hands-free kits are the answer - and certainly not completely safe to use at the wheel.
Even though there is no specific offence relating to hands-free phones, police can check telephone records in cases of careless or dangerous driving and use them as evidence to show someone has been distracted.
This can lead to tougher sentencing because using a mobile phone while driving is likely to be viewed as an "aggravating circumstance" by the courts.
You have been warned!
