Drivers who enjoy listening to music as they travel are being warned to be careful.
New rules that have come into place in a huge Highway Code shake up mean those who carry out a simple action could be fined up to £200.
People with music streaming apps like Spotify and Apple Music are most likely to be affected, but the rules apply to anyone with a mobile phone.

The fine will be issued to anyone caught using their mobile device to changing the song playing, risking an immediate fine.
Finance firm CarMoney's Andrew Marshall says: “More and more drivers are being caught out on the roads by unexpected fines. The new changes to the Highway Code will place more responsibility on road users and it will be a criminal offence to disobey them.
"More publicised offences, such as making phone calls whilst driving, are already deemed unacceptable in our society but simple things such as throwing a cigarette out of a window are what we see on journeys every day, and often without consequence.
"We are reminding road users to be considerate of other road users and obey driving laws for their own safety and the safety of others whilst travelling.”
The new laws are aimed at cutting out dangerous driving, so this also includes doing things like taking pictures or videos.
While driving on the phone was outlawed in 2003, this new change catches up with other phone usage laws, making motorists who use their phone in different ways responsible for dangerous driving.
