Using your mobile phone at the wheel in Europe could cost you more than you think if you're travelling about a bit.
A study by Jabra has shown you could be stung for up to euro;600 if you get caught with your mobile plastered to you ear, with Portugal (euro;600 / £475) and Italy (euro;584 / pound;462) among the highest chargers.
Greece: frightening
If you're feeling a bit risky, you can always try the offence in Greece, where it will cost you a mere euro;60 (pound;48) to get nicked, but they'll have your license for a month, which might destroy your fun if you're on a driving holiday.
It seems the place to go if you're into getting fined for using a mobile while driving, but haven't got much money, then Russia is your destination of choice.
For a mere €8.5 (£6.70) you can drive with your tunes playing and chatting to that delightful girl you met in Moscow the night before if the police catch up with you.
Have a look at the handy map if you're planning a mobile-happy holiday across the continent.
