Questions Learners Have About Mobile Phones & Distraction

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Mobile Phones & Distraction, including how questions match the official theory exam in Great Britain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Can I use my mobile phone for navigation while driving in Great Britain?

You can use a mobile phone for navigation if it is securely mounted in a cradle and you do not touch it while driving. It must not obscure your view of the road. Using a handheld device for navigation for any purpose is illegal.

What are the penalties for using a handheld mobile phone while driving in Great Britain?

Using a handheld mobile phone while driving in Great Britain can result in 6 penalty points on your licence and a £200 fine. New drivers caught within two years of passing their test will lose their licence.

Is it illegal to pick up a handheld mobile phone while stationary in traffic, such as at traffic lights?

Yes, it is illegal to pick up and use a handheld mobile phone or similar device while stationary in traffic, as you are still considered to be driving. The only exceptions are for genuine emergencies (999/112) when it is unsafe or impractical to stop, or if you are using it to make a contactless payment at a contactless payment terminal.

How does passenger interaction affect driver distraction?

While passengers are not illegal, excessive interaction or allowing them to cause significant distractions can impair your concentration and control over the vehicle. As the driver, you are responsible for maintaining proper control at all times, as outlined in the Highway Code.

Does the ban on handheld devices apply if the interactive communication features are turned off?

Yes, the ban covers all use of a hand-held interactive communication device, even if its interactive communication capability is turned off or unavailable. The act of holding and using it for any purpose is prohibited.
