I was stopped for being on a video call and the phone was mounted to the bike and using my AirPods I was told by the officer It was illegal and will receive a 6 point and £200 is that correct
Point to note:- Govt UK website says any device capable of transmitting data, incs satnavs, cameras, etc. cant be bothered to look the law up as requires a different search criteria & I’m off to work as a trucker! My advice, whatever the device is, leave it alone & concentrate on driving! You selfish mess up can mean the difference between me sleeping in my own bed or in the cab. Very close call a couple of nights back after a 2hr hold up on the motorway. Drive, don’t try to dodge the law:- that includes a smart watch… if you think texting on that is a smart way round the room, the watch is way smarter than you!

I listened to this lawyer, he just says accept your crime, 6 points and 200 pounds, he doesn't say anything else. Now I'm asking, the speed camera limit is 30 miles, you passed with 47 miles, what happens, of course the flash goes off, the picture is sent to your home by mail, there is no choice but to accept the situation. Now the important thing is what evidence do the police have, camera record, 2 police witnesses or CCTV camera footage around, this is the most difficult part because there is almost no solution in a moving vehicle, it can only be reading the license plate, I will say if there is no evidence, they can't do anything. If there is evidence, I say 200 pounds and 6 points, let it be over.
It should be an outright Ban for Zombie phone drivers.. The offence is worse than drink driving, because your not even looking or concentrating on the road and traffic ahead.
Hi, I was not using my phone, I was just holding it near my ear & I saw someone was recording me from the passenger seat. Can I get 6 points if they upload the video or tell the police ?
Yes as I’m at court on Thursday for a cyclist reporting me to police for using mobile phone in stationary traffic after a nearby RTA last may, I genuinely cannot remember and haven’t seen any video evidence! I will update you
Im a Uber driver got stopped by police for touching my phone the say the will give me find of 6point but didn’t agree with the police so might get court hearing
Instead of giving a 6 month driving ban after using a phone twice, I'd support an instant 3 month ban to anyone caught using a phone while driving. I'm a motorcyclist and the amount of times drivers pull out in front of me because they're distracted with their phone is ridiculous. If you're that desperate to be on your phone then you have no business being on the road. No excuse is good enough to risk the lives and limbs of other people.
Obviously has never had a family member killed by a distracted driver. If you are not concentrating on driving you are in charge of the most lethal weapon freely available to the British public. Maybe you will defend me when I walk down the street with a loaded firearm?
I got pulled over by the police. The officer gave me six points and £200 fine. I took to court police didn’t have no proof that I was on phone so didn’t get anything 🎉
My 2 hand was on the wheel , and the phone was on my side and listening news the officer pulled ed me over and send me 6 points and 2 fine , even though I told him I was not on the phone at all , is it right what he did? Bro I need your advice the just gave me 28 days to decide

What happens when the driver identifies as a mobile phone.
Exactly this is how stupid everyone is.
iPod the best way to go then if someone was texting so to say ?

Not quite. You are allowed to handle device in a dock. Think of a radio...

Hi,

Can I get 6 points if they upload the video or tell the police ?
Hope so.
Did you?
Yes you can
are you really as thick as pig shit?

What happened now ? Did you get points ?
Did you end up going to court?
Then whats happen?
What is the outcome?
