Legislation on Mobile Phones and Driving
A mobile phone headset can help you stay on the correct side
of the law.
In the UK it has been illegal since 1st December
2003 to use a "handheld phone, or similar device",
when driving. A hands-free device is permitted provided that
it can be operated without the driver holding it. However, you
the driver still risk being prosecuted for failing to have proper
control of a vehicle under Regulation 104 of the Road Vehicles
(Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 if you use a hands-free
phone when driving.
