    Sorry if this happens to be in the wrong place, I'm lost!

    Can anyone tell me what year and if possible the month the law banning talking on your mobile and driving came in? I was contradicted a few years ago but I would have thought much longer.

    Thanks for any advice folks.

    Since 1 September 2006 the offence is a fixed charge offence of €60 and will attach two penalty points to your licence. A conviction in court will cost you up to €2,000 and four penalty points on your licence.

    This law is so dismally enforced. The number of people on the phone while driving is crazy.

    If it was recategorized as "dangerous driving" and penalized as such it would soon stop. The UK takes a far more serious approach especially with drivers of PSV's, busses and trucks.
