Is using a mobile phone whilst driving an endorsable offence?
Yes. The offence is subject to a mimimum £60 fixed penalty fine and your driving license will also be endorsed with a minimum of 3 penalty points. In some circumstances, for example if a driver is involved in a collision and it is discovered that he or she was using a phone at the time, a prosecution for careless or dangerous driving may be justified . The penalties on conviction for such offences include heavy fines, endorsement, disqualification and, in serious cases, imprisonment.
