They used to pursue mobile phone use up until this case:

Hopefully they'll start again with the new law.

Reported a taxi for clearly using/having a mobile phone in the lap, MET comes back and says prosecution unlikely - I ask why and am told it's required to prove use as a communication device.
The current gov.uk website says it's illegal to hold a mobile phone while driving, nothing about communication devices - https://www.gov.uk/using-mobile-phones-when-driving-the-law
Anyone know why they won't pursue?
