It's all adds to my favour as instead of an officer randomly seeing something that is so striking he feels the need to act, they were indeed actively looking for any excuse with eyes firmly fixed on motorists on a bottleneck

Sometimes it's amusing how these threads are based largely on emotion and drama, sadly the courts do not work like that, so for all the debating, you may just have to go and have your day there and see what the magistrates conclude.

The tale of woe gets worse , within the next couple of pages it`ll turn out that the old bill were armed and ready to fire

It's actually looking pretty good for me at this point. All I'm really concerned with is establishing reasonable doubt.

The police were fixated looking for reasons to pull people from roadside that day. They got it wrong in this case

FALSE

Not based on emotion or drama, just fact

I haven't read the whole thread, but the safest thing to do is not touch your phone at all while driving. If mine falls out of my pocket while driving I just leave it. I don't particularly need to know who is calling while I'm driving either.

If it slips behind a brake pedal you could be in serious trouble then. Safest place for you is to put it in your boot

Lol

Not worse, better for me

The alleged actions of the police haven't half developed somewhat since the original post.

Banging on the window, grabbing the door etc.

I wonder how much of the story we are still missing?

Or are we now in the land of the Troll?

Before you reject the ticket and opt for your day in court get proper legal advice on your chances.


You can't just quote something you have latched onto in this thread to the mags as your defence and trust they'll agree!

I'VE GOT IT!!!

I have the nail in the coffin of the 'beyond reasonable doubt' assertion that I was using my mobile

Thank you everybody, the variety of points on here has given me so much fuel to examine every angle that I've realised a critical pathway to smash the unfounded assertion.

Please go on...?

Quinton, thank you for the help. I have already spoken to a solicitor and will touch base again next week. I have more confidence now to proceed to court but will not do so before more legal backing.
