Drivers who are caught phoning or texting while steering the wheel will pay higher fines after MPs approve changes to the law on road traffic.
A hands-free phone is still permitted but holding a phone while driving has now been banned. The ban also concerns other audio-visual and telecommunications devices. Otherwise, drivers will pay more as fines double given new changes adopted on October 28, as reported by the TASR newswire.

MPs also approved the introduction of the 365-day highway sticker. It will be valid not until the end of a calendar year but 365 days from the driver's purchase. The new electronic sticker will be introduced from February 1, 2020.
