Help and Advice
Vehicles are increasingly more than just a means of transport for many people. In many ways they are becoming hubs of connectivity.
But how can you connect your phone to your car? It’s a question some people struggle with. Keen to connect their phone’s map system or their latest Spotify playlist for the journey ahead.
Apple CarPlay brings the iPhone experience to your car. Delivering a safer, more intuitive way to make calls. Or to use Maps and listen to music.
The UK's laws on the use of mobile phones while driving are strict. They are there to help ensure the safety of all road users.
The law states that it is illegal to hold a phone or sat nav while driving. You can only use a phone via hands-free controls - such as a Bluetooth headset, voice command, or a windscreen mount.
Even with hands-free access, the police can stop you if they think you’re distracted by your phone.
Always stay focused on the road.
The penalties for using your phone illegally while driving can be severe.
You can get 6 penalty points and a £200 fine. You could also lose your licence if you passed your driving test in the last 2 years.
While embracing connectivity, remember that safety comes first.
The UK's Department for Transport stresses the importance of minimising distractions while driving. Following local laws regarding mobile device usage in vehicles is not just about compliance; it's about ensuring the safety of everyone on the road.
Integrating your phone with your car's technology, particularly through Apple CarPlay, can redefine your driving experience, blending convenience, entertainment, and connectivity. This integration, when used responsibly and within the boundaries of the law, ensures that you stay connected to what matters most while prioritising safety.
As you journey forward, how will these connections enhance your travels?
