Belgium to use ANPR cameras to detect mobile phone use while driving by 2027

Belgian Minister of Mobility Jean-Luc Crucke confirmed that the government will use the interconnected ANPR camera network to detect mobile phone use while driving, with implementation targeted for 2027. The amendment to the royal decree listing traffic offenses is in final drafting stages and could be published next year. This marks a concrete step in enforcement of distracted driving laws, though technical and legal details remain to be finalized.
