France to suspend driving licences for phone use behind the wheel

Original: suspension permis téléphone au volant

France's Interior Ministry is extending automatic driving licence suspensions to drivers caught using a mobile phone at the wheel, with Le Figaro reporting the policy under the banner 'there must be a real sanction'. Phone use while driving is already an offence in France, but the move makes loss of the licence a systematic consequence, signalling a tougher enforcement stance.

Why now: The Interior Ministry has just announced the generalisation of licence suspensions for phone use while driving.
