Drivers who are caught using a mobile phone behind the wheel will not only find themselves on the business end of a fine from the police, but now they’ll also be penalised by their insurer too.

Allianz Insurance has announced that it’s putting up insurance premiums for motorists with a convinction for driving whilst using a mobile by 30 percent, in the same way it would for people who had been convicted of careless driving.
