Although the ex-boxing champion doesn’t appear to be touching the screen, distracted drivers could face charges of driving while not paying attention.

MailOnline was told by a spokesperson that GMP had been made aware on Sunday, 2 January 2022 of a social media video which appeared to be taken while driving. Police are conducting an investigation.

LAW ABOUT EATING, DRINKING, SMOKING AND USING PHONES 

Mobil Phones 

Texting while driving is an offense. 

Drivers are prohibited from taking photos, videos, browsing playlists, or playing games on their smartphones as of 2022.

This will mean anyone caught using their hand-held device while driving will face a £200 fixed penalty notice and 6 points on their licence.

If the device is secured in a car cradle, drivers can still use it ‘hands-free’ when driving. If they are not in control, the police can charge them with an offense.

Previously, laws prohibited motorists from using their phone for communications purposes. However, rules have been amended to prohibit the use of any phones.

It is only legal to use a mobile phone if you are safely parked – which does not include waiting in traffic or while stationary at traffic lights.

If it’s not safe to do so, emergency calls can be made while you drive to 999 and 112 for assistance.

The penalty for being caught using a mobile phone is a Fixed Penalty Notice of £200, and six penalty points on your licence.

Smoking, eating and drinking

It is not illegal to eat while driving, but if a driver becomes distracted and is not in proper control of the vehicle then police could prosecute for careless driving – meaning an on-the-spot fine of £100 and three penalty points. 

It is legal to consume alcohol while driving, just like eating. However, motorists could be charged with careless driving if they are distracted.

Although smoking is not prohibited, it can cause distraction behind the wheel and could lead to a charge for careless driving.

The law has been amended to make it illegal for passengers under the age of 18 to travel in a car and for smokers. 

Seatbelts

If a belt is installed in the driver’s seat, they must use it.

Some exceptions are made, like drivers who reverse or drive goods vehicles on deliveries that travel no longer than 50m per stop or licensed taxi ‘plying as hire’ and carrying passengers. 

Doctors may declare that a driver doesn’t need to wear a seatbelt because of a medical reason and issue a certificate of exemption from compulsory belt wearing 

Motorists are only allowed one person in each seat fitted with a seat belt, and can be fined up to £500 if they do not wear a seat belt when supposed to

Khan also sent his 2 million Twitter followers a Merry Christmas and shared a clip from the Queen’s speech. 

A motorist who is caught driving dangerously or carelessly while using a hand-held or hands-free cellphone could be disqualified, fined and even sentenced to up to 2 years in prison.
