I was initially pulled over for speeding, 66km in a recently changed 50 km zone and I will accept this but the officer then looks into my car and tells me he will be back to discuss my phone, that is sitting in a cradle. What's he on about?, I say to myself.
What's going on there with your phone, what are you watching?
I'm not watching anything, I'm listening to a podcast, I said. Not allowed, he said. It's playing through my Bluetooth, I said.
"Your screen in moving," he said. I'm listening just like a radio I told him.
The only thing moving on my screen was the soundwaves visuals of the podcast. There is no video playing. Comes back 3 points for speeding, 5 points for using a mobile phone and an extra ticket because I couldn't find my drivers licence.
I tried to appeal and it was not successful. Their reply was just a basic generic explanation about phone use...
I feel hard done by the game of thrones podcast has got me a ticket. What are my chances of fighting the "use mobile phone" in court under traffic law?
