Phone while driving: immediate license suspension becomes reality in 4 French departments

As of May 1, 2026, four French departments (Landes, Lot-et-Garonne, Pas-de-Calais, Charente-Maritime) have introduced an experimental measure: drivers caught holding a phone while driving, even without any other traffic violation, face immediate administrative suspension of their license for 15 days to 6 months. Previously, such a penalty required a concurrent offense. Drivers with a serious traffic record may also be required to pay a 200-euro contribution to a victim support association. In the rest of France, the penalty remains a 135-euro fine and a 3-point deduction.
