AA: Thousands of Brits break mobile phone law

The AA has calculated that at any one time, around 100,000 Brits are breaking the law which bans the use of handheld mobile phones while driving.

As the second anniversary of the passing of the law approaches, the AA's president Edmund King issued a warning to the thousands of people who chose to ignore the edict.

Mr King said: "Motorists need to understand the dangers and consequences of misusing a mobile phone whilst driving.

"The ultimate danger is death and consequences can be anything from jail and penalty points to a driving ban and higher insurance premiums."

He compared the use of mobile phones while driving to an "addiction" and said it is not a crime that confines itself to one particular type or class of driver.

Recently, Lord Ahmed, a member of the House of Lords, was sentenced to prison for dangerous driving after it was revealed that he had been texting at the wheel shortly before a fatal car crash.
