Like or not, TT has found the evidence I was looking for. And NOT is the operative word

Clear enough from the link to the 'Roadside Lawyer' that the offence IS to hold a mobile phone, or at least the interpretation of the law is such in order for the police to make a prosecution stick.

At this stage, if it were me, I would certainly feel that to 'grin and bear it' was the only sensible option.

A real lesson for us all here, certainly for me. I'll not even be holding a phone in the car any more. It will stay in my shirt pocket or in the glovebox.

Thanks for those 'finds', TT, not the result we wanted but I think we have the answer now.

And I will STILL see plenty of people USING their phones as I drive, perhaps that is why the interpretation is being applied like this.

Sorry, rogie, it does not look good.
