The current UK law makes it an offense to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving. This means that drivers cannot pick up a mobile phone in their hand and use it while driving. (The offense also applies to motorcycle riders who pick up and use a mobile phone; this consultation will use the word "drivers" to cover both drivers and motorcycle riders.) It is also an offense to use a hand-held mobile phone while supervising a learner driver. The law also covers "other hand-held interactive communication devices" such as tablets but until it becomes important to discuss specific types of devices in any detail, this document uses the term "mobile phone" to cover those similar devices.
