The BBC report:
Use of hands-free phones should be banned from vehicles as well as hand-held ones, road safety campaigners say.
The charity Brake also called for the penalty for calling or texting behind the wheel to be increased from £100 to somewhere between £500 and £1,000.
Brake said a Freedom of Information request showed more than 500,000 people had points on their licence for using a phone or being otherwise distracted.
