Mounted Phone FaceTime Call Costs Copenhagen Motorist Driver's Licence

Using a mounted phone for video calls while driving can cost your driving licence. Glostrup District Court recently ruled on a distracted driving case in Copenhagen. The court fined a motorist 2,500 Danish kroner. The judge also imposed a conditional loss of her driving licence.

The driver used FaceTime on Copenhagen's Ring 3 motorway. Her phone was placed in a correctly mounted phone holder. The court emphasized that even legal hands-free setups can cause illegal driving. Any setup that causes inattention to traffic is against Danish driving laws. Motorists driving in Copenhagen must keep full attention on the road. The ruling was reported by The Copenhagen Post.
