As of 27th February 2007 drivers caught using a hand-held mobile phone, or those caught using a hands free set while failing to have proper control of a vehicle, will face a doubling of fines to £60, three penalty points on their licence and the possibility of huge hikes in car insurance.
A leading insurance company has let the cat out of the bag by revealing many insurers add up to 5-7% on premiums for one conviction (equivalent to an SP30 speeding conviction), 21% for two convictions, while drivers caught with three convictions could see insurance increases of up to 52%. LINK.
