RAC road safety spokesman Pete Williams said: “It is going to take a huge effort to change behaviours, clearly plenty of drivers still think it’s acceptable to use a handheld phone at the wheel.”
A spokesperson for Brake, the road safety charity, told The Sun Online: “Distracted driving is a growing menace, and selfishly using a mobile device behind the wheel is incredibly dangerous.

"It is concerning to see an increasing number of cases of individuals using Snapchat whilst driving – any driver distraction can be deadly.
"Research shows that using a phone behind the wheel affects reaction times as much as drink driving, increases your risk of being involved in a crash and seriously injuring or killing yourself or other road users.
"Brake urges drivers to keep their minds completely focused on the road at all times and not attempt to multi-task – any distraction could be fatal.”
The Sun Online has contacted Chloe Khan's agent for comment.
