Hand held mobile phone use penalty to rise in 2017 [Merged]

As an aside - most North West area Traffic Cops will be aware of the Pro-forma sheet that they are requested to submit the Office of the TC should they prosecute a Coomercial Vehicle Driver on a mobile phone. The offender will then, in all likelihood, be asked to make a personal appearance with the possibility of a Vocational Disqualification of 28 days being a frequent result.
