Highway Code says you can use a phone in the car for two reasons only

Motorists are being reminded of a Highway Code rule brought in earlier this year that means you should not use a mobile phone while driving.

Previously, rules meant texting or calling while driving was illegal. But since March 25, motorists who so much as touch their phone can be hit with a £200 penalty.

And, if a person is supervising a driver who is learning, they could be hit with a £1,000 fine - as well as a massive six points on their licence. The new rules make more actions illegal, but despite them coming into effect more than six months ago, many are still confused about them.
