> Under current UK laws, drivers are banned from texting or making a phone call (other than in an emergency) while using a handheld device. From 2022, drivers will not be allowed to take photos or videos, scroll through playlists or play games on their phones when driving.
Incredible that the lawmakers were stupid enough last time to ban not phone usage in general, but just texting and making a call. And now they are repeating the same mistake by specifying that it's illegal to scroll through playlists or play games? Just ban phone usage nonstop already like other, sane countries. Make an exception for navigational purposes, and hopefully we can have fewer deaths because of distracted driving.
Or even better, create a law that outlaws being distracted by anything while driving, requiring drivers to stop if they are distracted.
