Quite frankly shocking figures released by the DVLA have revealed that over half-a-million drivers have now been caught and prosecuted for using their mobile phone while driving.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statistics also reveal that Glasgow has the unwanted title of being the worst place for drivers committing such an offence, with a huge\u00a028,000 motorists in the Scottish city having\u00a0<\/span>been caught.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, road safety group ‘Brake’ has called on motorists to switch off their phones before they drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personally, I would be interested in finding out how many people would actually admit to regularly using their mobile phone whilst driving as, of course, the statistics released state only those that have actually been ‘caught in the act’…<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadly, my guess would be far in excess of the number actually caught doing so…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
