What is the penalty for being caught holding and using a mobile phone while driving?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Six penalty points and a £200 fine
- Step 1: The penalty was raised in March 2017. Step 2. The fixed penalty is a £200 fine and 6 penalty points. Answer: Six penalty points and a £200 fine. Why not the others: The other combinations are old or invented penalties, and a first offence does not earn a warning.
