But it’s not quite that simple.Because of a loophole in the law, you can only be ‘officially’ done if you are caught sending a text or making a call, i.e. trying to communicate. Other activities such as taking pictures or scrolling through a playlist are not technically ‘banned’.By the summer 2020, this loophole will be closed though, meaning any of us caught faffing with our phones while on the move will be fined and penalised.
