Mobile Phone Offence – Car Not Moving

Question:

Any chance of avoiding the 3 points penalty ….the time police spot me I was stuck in a traffic and car was not moving…so please let me know many thanks

Paula Says:

The offence requires that you were using a mobile phone whilst driving. Driving is defined as both motion and control. If you were stationary at the time then you may be able to defend this matter – but if you were creeping along in a queue of traffic then you will struggle.

Have you got any points on your licence? If so, how many?

Come back to me if you are up for a fight and you are adamant that you were not moving.
