[quote][i]Originally posted by gtitim[/i] The offence is using a mobile phone whilst driving a motor vehicle. It can be to check time, read texts, make calls, mp3s or whatever. If you are using your phone whilst driving you commit the offence. You are deemed to be driving if you are in control of steering and propulsion - so even if stationary with engine running you still commit the offence. Potentially if you pulled over to use the phone and didnt turn the engine off you coulod be done, however, most officers have common sense. I gave a bloke a ticket for using a phone and he wasnt holding it. His passenger was holding it to his ear and he was chatting away. He was using the phone so committed the offence. Had he had a phone holder he would not have got a ticket for using it. Instead he would have been reported for driving without due care, as he was concentrating far more on the call than his road position and distances/gaps. His manner of driving fell below an acceptable standard purely because he was on the phone. Once off the phone he drove perfectly well. It DOES affect your concentration, even if handsfree. [/quote]
