By law if you have pulled to a stop out of the flow of traffic (not stopped but still in the flow of traffic) Then you can use your mobile. However - I have first hand experience that police can be very F stupid retards regarding mobile phone use in a stopped vehicle. So just to be on the safe side, i would not touch my phone until i have opened my car door and put one foot on the road and have a rear mounted dash cam filming me do it!
