<p>The Ministry of Justice court proceedings database does not distinguish convictions
involving mobile phone use from the broader offences of causing death/serious injury
by dangerous driving.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport has not carried out
an assessment of hands-free mobile phone use, or use of other mobile devices such
as satellite navigation equipment, while driving. The Highway Code stresses the importance
of proper concentration while driving. If someone drives poorly because they are distracted
by a phone conversation, for example, even if using hands-free, then the police can
take enforcement action for failing to have proper control of the vehicle.</p>
