Was pulled over and received an infringement for "drive (sic) using mobile phone" in Canberra.
Police initiated as they believed they saw my head down while stopped at the lights and suspected I was using the mobile phone.
in actuality, I was adjusting the volume of the stereo from the centre console (European 4wd, the knob is on the passenger side at arms length from the driver) and my phone was on the passenger seat along with my wallet etc.
What is the likelyhood of the infringement being withdrawn and what is the risk if challenged in court and lost?
