don't know whether it is or not, but the kipp report said it wasn't true and that the police/rta had denied it...bloody hell, the police would end up with thousands of dhs fines themselves if it is...

Definitely not true. Supposedly true for Saudi and Bahrain, but not for UAE.

it wouldn't be such a bad idea though...it annoys the hell out of me when I am behind someone who suddenly slows down, suddenly breaks, swerves out...9 out of 10 times when I overtake them they are on the phone...

As far as I know, nothing has changed in this regard:

Using hand-held mobile phone while driving Fine AED200 plus 4 Black Points.

However, if it affects your driving, it could be construed as Driving in a way that is dangerous to the public, in which case the fine is AED1000, plus 12 Black Points and confiscation for 30 days.
