DRIVERS BEWARE SMART WATCH!
Updated: Dec 23, 2022
The new law in relation to mobile telephones and other devices has long been in place in terms of whether you can use your devices whilst in your vehicle. The short answer “NO YOU CANNOT !”
There are limited circumstances for making an emergency call or making a payment by way of a
drive through restaurant for example. But for any device sending or receiving data the device must
not be held whilst driving your vehicle. The same applies if you are supervising a learner driver !
If you do you run the risk of a fixed penalty of 6 penalty points and a £200 fine. If you have passed
your test in the last two years the licence could be revoked by the DVLA.
