Legal Driving and Phones - What is the legality?
Mobile Phone Accessories: CarKit Handsfree
December 1st: New laws now outlaw using your mobile phone in your car while driving without a handsfree car kit. You must not
hold your phone in your hand while driving. For your

The key word for this new mobile phone driving law is "hand-held". You are perfectly legal if you do not have to hold the handset at any time throughout a call, including pressing a button to
accept or decline the call. With these new
Bluetooth handsfree units you do NOT have to hold the handset at ANY time thoughout the call, so you are
perfectly legal,a and driving safely. To accept a call you simply press the button on the
Bluetooth unit itself, not the handset. This will help you avoid heavy fines.

Mobile Phone and Driving: Frequently Asked Questions
In order to avoid driving illegally, and avoid facing fines from £30 to £1000, drivers must either stop using their phone while driving or use a mobile phone
acessory hands free unit that allows the driver to talk and drive without having to hold the mobile phone.

Bluetooth simple carkit,
the Bluetooth headset ear-piece
or the Bluetooth full-install car kit. It doesn't neccessarily have to cost more than any other car kit of equivalent
quality, but it will be far cheaper in the long run, because you can change your phone (to any other Bluetooth handset) whenever you want.

with your own mobile phone car kit or handsfree accessory.
