Urgent Highway Code warning as drivers risk £1,000 fine this bank holiday

Drivers are being warned against cranking up the tunes this bank holiday weekend as it could actually land you with a fine of up to £1,000.

Whether you love singing along to their favourite playlist or listening to the tunes played out from your local radio station, you best sort out your audio of choice before setting off on your journey.

Due to a highway code introduced last year, drivers across Scotland and the rest of the UK could be hit with a fine as well as up to six penalty points if caught changing a tune while behind the wheel. The reminder comes from experts at Compare the Market, with the price comparison site carrying out research that found 82 per cent of people are more confident listening to music when driving.
