Hmmmm. Now I just saw this on the net from a newspaper and they are claiming that using your phone to pay for your McDonald's at a drive thru could land you with a £1,000 fine and penalty points. The point being that you are using your phone and touching the screen whilst driving. Now I am not a believer in phone use while driving I have hands-free on my car and never touch my phone, but there is something about this article that bothers me. The use of a mobile phone is illegal on the public highway. Since when has the road past the window, car park or area that a McDonald's is on been a public highway? If you can be fined £1,000 and given penalty points for handling your phone on private property that means they can prosecute you for touching your phone whilst parked in your own garage.....
