shoot and be safe Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 you could possibly change your forum name to 'drive and be safe' and mention in court you have seen the light and are now trying to change other drivers perceptions and increase awareness and hope he believe it? haha I like your positive thinking.

Nial Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Well after almost 20 years driving, today a chief inspector of north Wales police caught me holding my mobile phone whilst standing still in a traffic jam. I held my hands up and received a ticket. £100 & 3 points. I can't believe that you aren't ****** off for being 'punished by the state' for doing nothing to harm anyone, they might as well give you a ticket for having brown hair. If you'd had it in your hands while moving then fair enough, but in a stationary vehicle? Was the handbrake on? Nial.

shoot and be safe Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Is it just me here who feels uneasy that the driver of a bus half full of passengers is using his phone when driving. You are a professional driver and the fact that you were not aware the police were watching you confirms your appear to have been distracted. As already said, you have took your £100 dose of medicine without whingeing. Expensive lesson learned I take your point about being uneasy with me "driving". I was in a stationery traffic jam texting the depot to inform them of my delay. I didn't see the police car as it was a unmarked jobby There is no point moaning about the fact I got caught. I'll. just have to take it on the chin (all three of them) and take the consequences. To add another positive to the situation, I have now got another topic for the after dinner speeches Edited February 11, 2014 by shoot and be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
