for having my mobile in my hand for 20 seconds on the motorway. Little bit harsh because i wasnt talking or texting on it. Literally just had it in my hand to check a calendar entry quickly. Oh well didnt argue or anything and they were nice enough to me.

Are you trolling, deliberately making a stupid post or just thick?

Have you never used your mobile whilst driving?

I was told lighting a tab whilst driving is illegal so if that's true you don't do yourself any favours. Also agree with what ojc said.

you take your hands off the wheel to change gear. to adjust heating controls. to use electric window buttons etc. equally as dangerous. such a daft thing to say. infact you are just provoking trolling with a comment like that steve and i am ashamed i have fallen for it.

I got 3 points for the same, wasn't even using the phone, I still think adjusting the radio is more dangerous but hey what do I know, I'm just a civilian

Annoys me this rule   
 
texting IMO while driving should be ruled out but IMO if you can drive, you can take a call when driving. I have a wireless dongle, no idea if it's legal or not to use these days. 
 
Is it illegal to eat and drive also now?

I tried that one, but 2 coppers opinions versus mine, it's not even worth going to court and risking court costs etc, which is a joke tbh
