Comment on Tough new driving rules could land Brits with a ban for ‘minor’ mistakes

such as a quick look at the sat nav, neglecting to signal, or any short-lived distraction – might result in prosecution and a driving disqualification.
I hate people that don’t indicate. Especially on roundabouts because now I have to wait for them to decide what they’re doing. How hard is it to flick a switch?
Anyway I already thought these things were driving violations, I don’t understand what’s different are they just now enforcing the rule?

They are, what has changed is the sentences you’re likely to get for doing them (and causing an accident or being caught by the police).
Instead of points and/or a fine, you’re likely to get a temporary driving ban instead.
Interestingly it seems they’ll punish commercial vehicle drivers like this as well which could easily result in losing your job if it’s required for work.
