Phone while driving is not an offense – Court

Speaking on phone while driving is being considered as punishable offense in recent times. But the Kerala high court has yesterday issued an order contradicting the present rule. Yesterday, the court has ruled that talking on mobile phone while driving is not an offense, unless it can be established that the act, had endangered public safety. Further the court has observed “There is no provision in the Police Act that bans people from talking over mobile phone while driving. Hence a person doing this can’t be assumed as one causes danger to the public.
