Mobile Phone Law - Interactive Guide

Effective from 1st December 2003 it became an offence to use a hand-held mobile phone or similar device while driving or in certain other circumstances.

This interactive guide provides basic guidance as to what is and is not prohibited. This is only a simplified guide and, should you have any doubts as to whether an activity is lawful, you should seek your own legal advice.

There is also a non-interactive printable version (opens in a new window).
