“we will catch you and we will punish you.”


A new penalty of three penalty points and a £90 fine will be introduced for motoring offences such as using a mobile phone whilst driving, running a red light and speeding offences.

Patrick McLoughlin, the transport secretary, said: “We want to send a clear message to dangerous drivers: if you continue to show complete disregard for the safety of other road users, we will catch you – and we will punish you.”

With more than a million drivers being convicted of using a hand-held mobile phone behind the wheel since the law was introduced in 2003, it is perhaps not surprising that the law has changed.

Director of the RAC Foundation, Professor Stephen Glaister, told the Daily Mail: “With both texting and hand-held use of mobile phones at the wheel causing more impairment than being at the drink-drive limit or under the influence of cannabis, the police need to target the large number of motorists continuing to flout the law.”

The new plans will also see new drug-driving laws introduced however the current drink-drive limit will remain the same, for now.
