Just found this on motorlawyers.co.uk
I was checking the time on my phone or moving it, have I committed an offence?
In theory, yes. If the phone is being held whilst driving, or any buttons are pushed, it is being "used" regardless of whether a call is actually being made.You may click thanks if you found my advice useful0 -

He does not need a seatbelt on in a stationary vehicle, I presume the officer was not clinging on the wipers.
Nor could he be fined for using a mobile while stationary, plus the OP says the driver "was stopped" as in "pulled over by the police".
My thought is: does that mean one can't glance at one's watch while driving either? Or pick up a watch off the dashboard or passenger seat and look at it? I know, I know, driving without due caution (taking one's eyes off the road).
I shall be interested to hear how this one works out.I incurred the debt, I repaid the debt - all of it!
