The flexible gooseneck means you can easily manoeuvre your phone so you can avoid obstructing your view of the road. We love this one as it’s not just for phones, it can fit your sat nav as well, making it the perfect choice if you like to switch up your devices. It secures itself to your windshield via a suction cup, which you can also easily release.
If you’re driving a van on a regular basis, then this windscreen mount is probably our top pick for you. So, if you’re using a mount that sticks to your windshield and it’s obstructing some of the road, you could be breaking the law. Given the potential penalties, we think investing in a car phone holder is a great way to still be able to use your phone (hands-free!), but still be safe on the road and avoid any liability.īear in mind that when using car phone holders or mounts, they need to be fully set up prior to turning your engine on, and that you need to be able to see the road at all times. However, it's important to understand the law regarding phone usage while driving. Whether it’s for navigation, music, or phone calls, we understand why you might need to use your phone in the car. Consequently you don’t want to be caught with your phone in hand for reasons of personal safety as well as for those related to holding onto your licence. Being behind the wheel is one activity that requires your persistent observation, quick reflexes and instant decision making.
