Not sure of the details; but the UK lawmakers might have caught up with the notion that fines for using mobile phones while driving might well be as good a cash cow as those for speeding.

I presume that secret cameras will be placed to photograph cars from the driver's side; photographic evidence, cough up and 3 points on the licence.

A policeman I know once pulled over a car, as the driver was not only using a mobile phone, but also gesticulating with both hands. Ooops, the car was left hand drive, and the driver was perfectly in control, no matter how excited the passenger became.

I'm not too sure whether SatNav systems are not also a major distraction; they have a nasty tendency to direct drivers into shopping centre car parks, or make recommendations for the potentially dangerous, "Do a U-turn now", when they ought instead to be looking for alternate routes.
