Experts at Road Angel issued a warning to Brits for simply touching their phone at the wheel. <\/p>\n<p> A recent crackdown ensured it was now illegal for drivers to use their mobile phones under any circumstances. This even includes touching the device for Google Maps usage. <\/p>\n<p><b> READ MORE: Driving in Halloween costume could land you with \u00a31,000 fine, experts warn <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> You can read more lifestyle stories from Daily Star. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Some navigation apps require motorists to touch the screen multiple times to report issues like congestion, potholes and accidents.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31149588.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Male-Driver-Being-Stopped-By-Female-Traffic-Police-Officer-With-Digital-Tablet-For-Driving-Offencejpging.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The data is then collected to reroute other drivers away from the incident to speed up journey times. However, helping other road users could see motorists caught out with fines and penalty points.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Digva, spokesperson for Road Angel, said: &quot;There is still some confusion around the use of phones while driving, despite the law tightening up over a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We think it is important for motorists to understand what they can and can&apos;t do when using some popular driving apps as they encourage user interaction in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Most sat navs are updated live collecting information on things such as speed limits and police locations without the need for user interaction.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31149591.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Female-Traffic-Police-Officer-Recording-Details-Of-Road-Traffic-Accident-On-Mobile-Phonejpgdont-want.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31144521.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458\/0_Rare-Kew-Gardens-50p-coin-sells-for-hundreds-and-you-could-own-one-too.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p> Rare Kew Gardens 50p coin sells for 320 times its value \u2013 and you could own one<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/@trinitymirrordigital\/chameleon-branding\/publications\/dailystar\/img\/logo-schema-dailystar.png\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He added: &quot;Using devices while driving has been shown to cause severe accidents, with almost 500 people injured in incidents where the motorist was using their phone.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It&apos;s time a clear message was sent to motorists that it is never acceptable. Not only can being on your phone while driving lead to hefty fines and points but it also puts a lot of people in danger.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;That&apos;s why it&apos;s really important to make sure you have the right set up and equipment for a safe journey, no matter where you&apos;re travelling.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>According to GOV.UK, motorists caught using their phones will be hit with a \u00a3200 fine and six penalty points on their licence. But in extreme cases it could rise to \u00a31,000 charge with a court hearing.<\/p>\n<p><b> <i> Want all the biggest Lifestyle news straight to your inbox?
