"Taking your eyes off the road to participate in the game could lead to losing attention of the traffic and road ahead, or worse, losing control of the vehicle entirely," said a spokesperson. "Failure to have proper control of the vehicle or full view of the road and traffic ahead carries a £1,000 fine and three points on your license."
