Mobile Telephone Offences
Holding a telephone is not using a telephone
"Billing records proving you were not on the phone at the time of the alleged offence are often enough to persuade the CPS to discontinue the matter."
Road Traffic Department | Cunninghams
In February 2007 the government introduced legislation, which means that it is now a separate motor offence for using a handheld mobile telephone or similar device. Similar devices can include navigation equipment, computer equipment and blackberries.
An exception to the offence is whereby a motorist is using a device to make a ‘999’ emergency call and when it is unsafe or impractical to stop.
Punishment of Mobile Telephone Offences
A fine of up to £1000 and up to £2500 if driving a vehicle adapted to carry eight or more passengers and three penalty points.
