Love Island star risks 6 points on license and £200 fine as horrified fan spots him making VERY dangerous move in car
Love Island’s Ronnie Vint reveals ‘exact moment’ he KNEW Harriett was heading into All Stars villa - despite her blocking him

LOVE Island star Ronnie Vint has risked points on his license and a fine after being spotted using his phone while driving.

The 28-year-old was seen “glued to his phone”; for almost 10 minutes while driving his Black BMW in heavy traffic – shocking fellow drivers.

Ronnie was held up in Mother's Day crowds heading back to London, when he was snapped in a photo obtained by Flying Eze.

In the picture he can be seen holding his smartphone with both hands, while stuck in slow-moving traffic on the A2 motorway in Kent.

A Love Island fan noticed the celebrity driving without even holding the wheel as she was also caught in the Sunday evening congestion near the Blackwall tunnel.

She told us: “He was just glued to it.

“We were sat in traffic for about 45 minutes. He was using his phone for about 10 minutes.”;

“‘How inconsiderate,’ I thought. We were next to him in the traffic for quite a while.”;

“The traffic was slow but we were still moving.”;

“We’ve got a newborn, so we are very cautious on the road.”;

She added: “He’s in the public eye, so for him to be sat on his phone in broad daylight with so many people around. It made me think he was just so silly.”;

If caught using a phone while behind the wheel, drivers can be fined £200 and received six points on their license.

Love Island’s Ronnie threatens to expose Olivia Hawkins

Ronnie, who is a semi pro footballer, rose to fame on Love Island last summer where he met Harriett Blackmore.

The pair split shortly after amid cheating rumours but reconciled when they both appearedon All Stars at the start of this year.

Ronnie’s rep declined to comment.

Can I use a mobile phone while driving?

Since 2003, it has been illegal to use a mobile phone for calls or texts while driving.

Initially, this only covered small parts of the law, like actually putting the phone to your ear while behind the wheel.

But on March 25, 2022, it became an offence to even hold a mobile phone while driving.

This includes both touching or swiping the phone's screen.

The law also applies when you have stopped in traffic or are waiting at traffic lights.

After being caught texting at the wheel while waiting in traffic, film director Guy Ritchie was banned from driving for six months in July 2020

There are exceptions to this rule though — using your phone to pay contactless at a drive through restaurant is allowed.

Even so, it is probably best to park safely and turn off your engine before using your mobile or other electronic device as a payment method.
