Ive been caught answering my phone on a 30mph road just as i was pulling into the petrol station by an unmarked police car, no previous points or offences in car or lorry, anybody have any idea of points/fine i have got coming my way?? My own fault for answering when i could have held on another 20 seconds and been stationary so obviously disappointed but now worrying with the new laws in place anybody had this happen??
If you was in a car and it doesn’t go to court the maximum fine is £200 and 6 penalty points.
If it goes to court the maximum fine for a car driver is £1000 and the maximum fine for a HGV driver is £2,500.
I know some people will disagree, but I think it’s just another con to divert peoples attention away from what a crap job the police are doing when it comes to crime or anti-social behaviour, why chase criminals or hooligans when motoring offenders will come to you
