The wording used on the penalty notice, was something like 'using a mobile phone on a restricted licence, namely a P1 probationary licence' or similar from memory. Which is open to various degrees of interpretation I say. From texting to using a navigation app. The former definitely deserves the book thrown at them, while the latter is just pity revenue raising.
If he was to take it to court, the copper could simply state that she observed him touching the phone (which he absolutely did not), and that'll be case closed. There's no evidence. It's the copper's word against his. And we all know how that'll end.
And before people ask how do I know my nephew is not lying, I know he's not. He and I are close, good friends even. He is closer to me and talks to me about things he couldn't tell his own Dad. I believe him 100%. He has no reason the lie to me, or his parents about this.
