Here's the research:
Using a handheld mobile phone while behind the wheel of a car is a controversial and incredibly dangerous issue, one which the Prime Minister herself has pledged to make as socially unacceptable as drink-driving. The RAC even runs its own campaign on the issue which you might have heard of, called Be Phone Smart.
The penalty for being caught using a hand-held device while driving has been increased since the law was introduced in 2003. It was originally just £30. Today, it is a Fixed Penalty Notice of £200, and six penalty points on your licence.
Absolutely. The changes effectively mean that if a new driver (someone who has held a licence for less than two years) is caught using a hand-held device behind the wheel, they will lose their licence. Drivers are only allowed to clock up six penalty points in their first two years of driving, rather than the normal 12.
More experienced motorists can lose their licence if they receive 12 points in a three-year period – so just two mobile phone incidents under the new law.
Also if the police feel it is a particularly extreme example of using a mobile phone behind the wheel, the driver could be taken to court. Here, the maximum fine is £2,000, and guilty drivers could face disqualification.
Motorists involved in an accident caused by using a hand-held device behind the wheel face stiff penalties as well. For example, the government is considering increasing the penalty for causing death by dangerous or careless driving from 14 years to life imprisonment. A two-year driving ban is also obligatory.

Inform the police and your insurance company. Give the the other cars details they will sort it.

If you honestly believe that this driver will kill a family soon then do the decent thing and report it to the police.

What a silly post.
