An urgent warning has been issued to all drivers heading to a McDonald’s drive-thru.
While hundreds of fast-food branches across the country have reopened for delivery and drive-thru, motorists have been alerted to be aware of a major mistake that could cost them their licences and result in a £1,000 fine.
Those who use their phones while the engine is on will be breaking the law. The rule applies even if you’re on private land.
Mobile phone laws published by the RAC highlight event if the engine is running, the phone should be nowhere near the hands of the driver.
This applies even if engine has ‘start-stop’ technology and comes to a halt automatically in order to save fuel.
