Over the next few weeks, we will give you some hints and tips and things to look out for when you’re driving independently. To start us off…let’s talk about headphones.

While there are specific laws preventing you using headphones while driving, you can still be issued a hefty fine if they are deemed to be distracting, especially if you are driving without due care and attention, or careless driving, and you’re involved in a collision. Some experts advise using bluetooth to connect your phone to in-car audio systems or utilise more traditional listening platforms like radio stations to avoid the safety risk. The latter removes the risk of using a mobile while driving to change the music which could lead to a fine and six penalty points.

Just a few little tips to help you on your way to a safe driving journey!
