You're wrong. When a phone is in a cradle it falls into the same category as a satnav. Indeed a lot of people use it as such. The essence of the law is to prohibit the use of devices being held in the hand whilst driving. Here is the law https://www.gov.uk/using-mobile-phones-when-driving-the-law
Bullet points 3 & 4. Could be different in Cypress but I doubt it.[/quote]
Probably is in Cypress as its either a tree or a bush Rolling with laughter
"It’s illegal to hold a phone or sat nav while driving or riding a motorcycle. You must have hands-free access, such as:" even in a cradle you musn't touch it, that section is misleading, you are safer from prosecution by abiding by the next paragraph. The Highway Code is advisory not law one should be careful in applying it it contains ambiguities and errors my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

But it doesn't say you can't touch it, does it? It says you can't be holding it.
If we apply your rule you wouldn't be allowed to touch anything in the car. A/C? NO! Can't turn that on after you set off. Come on!!!!! MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Very blunt but sadly too few people still see it as a problem - every day you'll see people on their mobiles, until they're banged up for it they'll never learn.
I wonder what 'punishment' the bloke in the original post received - ban him and that means his caravan and family holidays are Censored as well. Few points means he carries on until he's caught again.
