UK gets smart - Starting today text-drivers now face automatic loss of license

[ShootSpeeders]

Text-drivers are psychopaths with zero concern for the lives of others. They will never change and should never be allowed to drive again.

How from today sending a single text message could cost you your driving licence

1 MARCH 2017 • 11:25AM
New drivers who are caught using a phone at the wheel will lose their licence under new legislation that comes into force today.

From Wednesday anyone found calling, texting or using an app while driving will face a £200 on-the-spot fine and six points on their licence.

It means that new drivers – who can lose a maximum of six points before being banned for the first two years after passing their test– will face an immediate ban for sending a single text message.

Previously they were able to avoid getting points on their licence by taking part in retraining courses.

More experienced motorists can lose their licence if they receive 12 points in a three-year period.

I agree!
Texting messages or even using your cellphone in another way while you're driving is very dangerous for all society.
It's something really wrong

Seems like everyone agrees this is very wrong. And yet most drivers do it.

You're right ShootSpeeders. Unfortunately many people are irresponsible

Are they doing that? The automakers want car crashes. Car crashes mean car sales.

In a sane world, even radios would not be allowed in cars. Driving is dangerous.

To me, removing the car from the person's picture would make a much bigger difference due to those who don't care if they have a license or not.

God bless you always!!!

Lots of unlicensed drivers in america. Probably 70% of black drivers don't have one since they can't even read. Police have been instructed to look the other way.

42 drivers caught using their phones in just six hours (and the first was fined within five minutes)

HAHAHA. The board notes that all you have is namecalling. Even you know we have an epidemic of unlicensed black drivers and the cops have been ordered to do nothing.
