Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Smart cameras will be allowed to automatically detect whether drivers are holding or using a mobile device with a screen.
- Drivers on the road will notice this through a significantly higher chance of getting caught.
- If a camera records you handling your device outside a proper holder, a police officer will review the footage and you will receive a fine.
