Despite clear laws and severe penalties, driver distraction, particularly from mobile phones, remains a critical issue on UK roads. Recent amendments have further tightened regulations, making it illegal to use a handheld mobile phone for virtually any purpose while driving – even when stopped at traffic lights or in a queue. For learner drivers, cultivating an unwavering focus on the road is paramount from day one. Your PassMaster training emphasizes eliminating all distractions, as even a momentary lapse can have serious consequences. This isn't just about avoiding points on your licence or a hefty fine; it's about developing the safe habits that will protect you and others for a lifetime of driving. Always ensure your phone is securely stowed away, silent, and out of reach until your journey is complete. Stay vigilant, stay focused, and drive safely.
