McDonald's drive-thru customers risk £1,000 fine and six points for breaking driving law

Picking up a McDonald's drive-thru meal is a treat as a hot takeaway is placed in your hands without having to leave the comforts of your car.

But the fast food giant's new app - which makes ordering even easier - could land you in legal trouble on your next trip. Drivers are being warned that those who use McDonald's app could be hit with a £1,000 fine and six licence points.

While ordering from the drive-through is pretty straightforward, customers can now purchase food on their phones through the app as they wait in the queue. While this might make for an even more streamlined service, it could also breach Highway Code rules for using a handset behind the wheel.
