The fines were issued between January 2020 and November 2021. "In the majority of cases, persons receiving fines are not arraigned in court," Camilleri said when reply- ing to a parliamentary question by independent MP Godfrey Farrugia who asked how many people were charged in court. Mobile phone use while driving is a traffic contra- vention and people can contest fines in front of local tribunals. The fine for using a mobile phone while driving is €100 and the driver is penalised between three and six penalty points on his licence for such an offence. A full driving licence is revoked if at any time during any period of twelve months, its holder accumulates in aggregate twelve penalty points or more. Over 8,000 fines in two years for mobile phone use while driving
