http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-37389800 – Texting drivers: Penalty points and fines to double.
These recent news articles couldn’t have come at a better time for my animation as the use of mobile phones whilst driving was a known problem but now the police are showing incentive to crack down on it and in long term save life’s. I could now add in my animation about the 6 points and the 200 pound fine to raise awareness as not many people have 200 pound to pay off a fine and some can’t afford the points on their license as it can cost them a job. In the article it also says second time offenders can face up to 1000 pound fine and a 6 month driving ban which is a hefty increase as of recent and seems this is sometimes the only way to get across to people.
