Mobile is a great ally today. He is at the wheel, too, but we should know some of them. Guidelines that DGT puts on the support of mobile phones so they can’t punish us when using the device as GPS.

In the last traffic law, DGT made even more difficult with the use of mobile phone at the wheel. In fact, we could be fined for keeping the cell phone in hand, as previously the authorities had to prove that we were using the cell phone. Now, depending on the mobile support you use, the police may fine you.

How do I know if my support is valid?

Although there is no confirmed support, it is far from that, article 13.2 According to the Traffic Code “The driver of a vehicle is obliged to maintain constant attention to driving, which guarantees his own freedom of movement, the necessary field of vision and the safety of his vehicle and other road users’ vehicle”.

Therefore, always it is better to avoid those sitting on the foot or on the steering wheel. This is a law without interpretation, so depending on the agent stopping us at any time, they can evaluate whether the way we carry the cell phone is safe enough for roaming.

Let’s not forget that no matter how much the device is attached to the support, handling it while driving is also a punishment. 6 card points and a 200 Euro fine. However, if they find that our mobile support location is inappropriate and affecting driving, the penalty is 100 Euros and does not require points to be withdrawn.

DGT plans to carry out such a check. through cameras and other detection mechanisms To catch violations and reduce road deaths for such reasons.
