Next week a loud siren-like noise will sound from all UK phones as the government tests its emergency alert system, including the devices of those who are behind the wheel.
The emergency alert test is due to take place at 3pm on Sunday, April 23, and could be a major distraction for motorists.
However, James Armstrong of car insurance provider Veygo has urged drivers not to switch the alert off while behind the wheel, as they would be breaking the law.
