Drivers ignore phone warning
TOO many motorists in West Lothian are ignoring new tough penalties for using mobile phones whilst driving, police said today.
Fourteen drivers were caught in the area using their mobiles in the first three days after the introduction of the new laws last Wednesday.
Inspector Colin Shillito of Lothian and Borders Police Road Policing, said: "The message is simple. It is illegal to use a handheld mobile phone whilst driving."
In Edinburgh, fourteen drivers were caught on the first day of the crackdown.
Drivers face a 60 fine and three points on their licence.
