🚗 Heads Up, Drivers! 🚗
Big news for iPhone users on the road! The new Apple iOS 26 update is out, and while it’s packed with exciting upgrades for Apple CarPlay, it could also mean trouble if you’re not careful. Here’s the scoop: Motoring experts warn that the latest features could land you a £200 fine and six penalty points if misused. 😱
What’s New? 📱
The update brings enhanced music and podcast controls, real-time notifications, and customisable dashboards. Basically, it’s more tempting than ever to fiddle with your screen while driving. But remember, a quick tap or glance isn’t worth the risk!
Stay Legal & Safe:
1️⃣ Hands-off is key: Avoid touching your screen while on the move.
2️⃣ Red light, not green light: Don’t check that screen at traffic lights.
3️⃣ No picking up calls unless it’s hands-free.
4️⃣ Set your route and tunes before you hit the road.
5️⃣ Let Siri be your co-pilot for hands-free control.
Did you know? Using your phone or CarPlay improperly could cost you more than just a fine—new drivers might lose their licence, and bus or lorry drivers could face fines up to £2,500.
Reminder: Even if your car is in stop-start mode or you’re stationary, the rules still apply. Safety and legality should always come first when you’re behind the wheel.
Our golden rule? Set it up before you set off so you can keep your eyes on the road and avoid any costly mishaps.
Stay safe on the roads! 🚘✋
