in what circumstances were you allegedly using it hands free mounted in a holder, in your hand whilst driving/in motion? stopped still?From the Plain Language Commission:
"The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"0 -
Presumably this is a fixed penalty notice? If so then the only route of appeal is to take the matter to the magistrates court.
For more detailed advice take yourself off to PePiPoo and post your query there.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -

Two questions:Kernel_Sanders wrote: »Are you still allowed to change a cassette if you have such a player?
Is the cassette player a handheld device?
Does it require to be handheld at some point during an interactive communication function?
(basically, interactive communication function = the transmission/receipt of data)
And don't split hairs about the reading of the magnetic tape being a transmission or receipt of data!

Why should there be?0 -
"The use of a hand–held phone or similar hand–held device while driving is prohibited."
I would imagine that any defence (provided you were actually using it) would hinge on whether or not an Ipod would be construed as a similar device?0 -

It will be.
If the Ipod had been mounted in a cradle things may have been different. Whilst the physical action (pressing buttons to change a song) would be the same, it wouldn't have been "hand held".0
