If $\Delta(G)≤3$, then planarity of $G$ implies planarity of the line graph $L(G)$. This appears that a similar version of my question has been discussed on stack. Nevertheless, I have yet to see a rigorous proof.

*General planar graph L(G)
So I presented it again.
Claim: If $G$ is a planar graph with maximum degree $\Delta(G)≤3$. Then the line graph $L(G)$ is planar.
This claim stems from the paper:
[a] Sedlacek, J. "Some properties of interchange graphs." Theory of Graphs and its Application (1964): 145-150.
The original paper assumes, without proof, that the claim is correct.
This claim feels intuitively right. But how to rigorously state the proof? My feeling is that the inductive method can be used. I also tried to use the famous Kuratowski's and Wagner's theorems on the $L(G)$. But I've never been able to say it rigorously.

I used $G:=K_4$ as an example to show the poof process from the answer of Brandon du Preez.

 A: We'll begin by taking $G=(V,E)$ to be any sub-cubic planar graph (i.e., $\Delta(G)\leq 3$), and embed it into the plane. Call the image of this embedding $\Gamma$ (so $\Gamma$ is a collection of points and curves in the plane).
(Step 1) We're going to modify the embedding $\Gamma$ to create a `nicer' plane graph, one where the edges are all straight lines near to any vertex. This first step can be skipped if you're happy to just apply Fary's Theorem and get a straight-line embedding of $G$.
Let $\delta = \min\{||x-y||: \text{$x$ is a vertex of $\Gamma$, $y$ is on an edge not incident with $x$}\}$. In other words, $\delta$ is the minimum distance between any vertex, and a point on an edge that doesn't touch that vertex.
Around each vertex $v$ of $\Gamma$, draw a circle $S$ of radius $\frac{\delta}{2}$ centered at $v$. We're going to modify all the edges incident with $v$ as follows:
If $uv$ is an edge starting at $u$ going to $v$, consider the first point $p$ on $uv$ that touches $S$. Delete the whole segment of the edge that goes from $p$ to $uv$, and replace it with a straight line segment $[p,v]$. Do this for every edge incident with $v$, and every vertex $v$. Call the new plane graph $\Gamma'$, and note that it too is an embedding of $G$ (so it's the same graph, just drawn differently).

(Step 2) We're going to create a plane graph $\Gamma^*$ that has the line graph $L(G)$ as a minor - since every minor of a planar graph is planar, this will show that $L(G)$ is planar.
To create $\Gamma^*$ from $\Gamma'$, first put a vertex $\overline{e}$ in the middle of each edge $e$. Then, place a circle of radius $\frac{\delta}{4}$ around each vertex $u$ of $\Gamma'$. If the circle intersects the edge $e$ of $\Gamma'$ near to $u$, make this intersection point a new vertex called $u_e$. The arcs of the circle are now edges of a plane graph $\Gamma^*$ containing $\Gamma'$ as a subdivision.

To see that the line graph of $G$ is a minor of $\Gamma^*$, do the following:
Remove every vertex $u$ of the original plane graph $\Gamma'$, and all the mini-edges $\{u,u_e\}$ incident with one of the original vertices. Then, contract every edge of the form $\{\overline{e}, u_e\}$. Finally, throw out any loops or duplicate edges you might have from the circles around vertices of degree 1 or 2. What's left is a plane embedding of $L(G)$.
