A recent survey has revealed the most popular games played by drivers on the road. While these games offer a fun distraction, authorities are warning that engaging in them while driving can lead to serious consequences. Drivers caught playing certain in-car games risk fines of up to £5,000 and the addition of nine penalty points on their licence.
The warning comes amid growing concerns over distracted driving and road safety. Playing games while behind the wheel not only diverts attention from the road but also significantly increases the likelihood of accidents. Police forces have made it clear that such distractions are considered dangerous driving, attracting heavy penalties to deter these risky behaviours.
Drivers are urged to prioritise safety and avoid any activity that could impair their focus. Even a momentary lapse caused by a game can have devastating effects, both legally and personally. Staying attentive and keeping hands on the wheel and eyes on the road remains the best way to protect oneself and others.
