Hi
It IS against the law here in the UK, if you get caught even holding
your
mobile phone whilst driving, you get £60.00p fine and 3 points on your
licence. (12 points on your licence and you get automaticly banned from
driving for twelve months).
Plus of course the more points you have on your licence, you motor
insurance goes up quite a bit. For example:- a guy I know had a clean
licence and was paying £170.00p a year insurance, he got caught
speeding,
had a £60.00p fine and 3 points on his licence, when he went to renew
his
motor insurance it went up from £170.00p to £260.00p, Plus here in the
UK
if your caught driving and NOT wearing a seatbelt, you get an automatic
fine of £30.00p but no points on your licence.

I forgot to mention, If your caught driving here in the UK with more than
2.5% blood/alcohol level (about 2 pints beer max) you get 12 points on
licence and a mandatory 12 months ban from driving with NO EXCEPTIONS.
Then
if your caught driving whilst banned you face up to £5000.00p fine and/or
3
years imprisonment

And shipped off to Australia...?




LOL, yes I think if they could, they would.
But seriously, here in the UK they have really clamped down on motorists,
they have speed cameras everywhere, and if you car is on the road and does
not display a valid road tax disk, they can just come and pick it up with a
lorry/crane, take it to the scrap yard and crush it. Even if it's brand new.
