Three van drivers caught using mobiles in one morning

All three had been on their mobiles while heading through Wakefield on Monday morning, while one was also not wearing a seat belt.

Two Mini drivers were also pulled over, one for also not wearing a belt and another for ignoring road signs.

Drivers can expect at least a £200 fine and six penalty points if they are caught using mobile phones without a hands-free set.

New drivers who have passed their test in the last two years will automatically lose their licence.

Tougher sentences were introduced in 2017 to discourage the use of mobiles, which includes even touching a phone while behind the wheel.
