It is reported that proposals to double the penalty points for drivers using mobile phones while driving have got the green light.

The Irish Independent has said the Government has accepted the recommendations from an all-party transport committee.

Transport Minister Leo Varadkar said the culture needs to be changed so that talking on a handheld mobile while driving becomes socially unacceptable.
