Things to consider >New rules and cameras in some cabs, mean NO TOUCHING anything mobile/tablet/satnav… or lost job or fines etc if the plod…
.I can’t say anything about company rules, they could be anything. But the law…once a phone or tablet is in a holder you can touch it as much as you like (subject to not being distracted)
.Using devices hands-free
You can use devices with hands-free access, as long as you do not hold them at any time during usage. Hands-free access means using, for example:a Bluetooth headset
voice command
a dashboard holder or mat
a windscreen mount
a built-in sat nav
The device must not block your view of the road and traffic ahead.

Cheers Stu, appologies stand corrected, must be just a company thing where I am at moment, did say whilst a few were stood around was a bit stupid as we change radio channels etc, but a guy that does the training said no not to be touched once set off… gave me the impression was the actual law…
