The new printed Highway code includes major changes to the rules around using your mobile phone and the length of sentence you can get for committing a driving offence.
The latest edition hit the shelves today and it includes longer prison sentences and harsher phone rules.
The new rules around mobile phones state drivers must not use a hand-held mobile phone device or any device similar. This includes messaging on a smartwatch or using a tablet. The code also states drivers cannot dial a phone number while driving and place it in the cradle while on the phone.
