Arising out of advice from the Attorney General that the existing regulations on mobile telephone use by drivers may be ultra vires, the use of mobile telephones while driving is under examination in my Department in the overall context of in-vehicle information and communications technologies. Subject to the outcome of that examination it is my intention to include proposals related to the use of mobile telephones by drivers in the next appropriate road traffic Bill.
