In the UK the law goes a bit further – it’s illegal to drive with a dirty licence plate.
You could get a fine of up to £1,000 and fail your MOT test if your plate is too dirty and ‘unreadable’.

Can't remember how much you have to pay in fine if it's not readable. We also have same rules when it comes to Splashing pedestrians/bicyclist. If it happens you are obligated to stop your vehicle and give the pedestrian/bicyclist your name and number. For insurance. Markus

We all know that using your mobile phone whilst driving is illegal, and that applies also when your car is stationary; for example, if you’re at the traffic lights. But you probably haven’t thought about the law when picking up a burger at a drive-through…
Using your phone when behind the wheel is illegal in all cases, unless your engine is off and the handbrake is on. This means that using mobile pay to get that burger could land you with a £200 fine and six points.

So even though you aren't on a public road and are completely stationary they would still pounce out of the bushes to give you a ticket?

Well. The '73 Opel GT does but it has no engine right now so would probably be exempt.

Here in Denmark it is only forbidden to have a handheld smartphone.
In Sweden the law is not so tight-Here you will only be accused if you are responsible for any accident that may occur because you used a handheld smartphone. Markus

Road rage is a thing – a dangerous one! If you have a short temper, you could get in trouble and face a fine of up to £1,000 or 3 points on your licence. This offence falls under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and could be given to drivers who show rude hand gestures or curse at other drivers.

Road rage is more common than we think-Mostly it's yelling or showing hand signs towards other driver(s)-
In rare occasion cases it can become physical Tried to find anything about road rage and fines on Danish pages-Without any luck-I found a lot about road rage and psychology. Markus
