    Err no. I didn’t want to get searched as I have a few times and it’s never felt like a nice thing.

    Mentioned this at work and quite shocked a couple of people said they watch videos/podcasts while driving (on hands free) I’d say that’s way more dangerous but I am in the same boat and I got caught. Phone users while driving really make me mad and it only takes a second to fuck up. I’m going to treat it as a good reminder not to get my phone out while riding tbf

    Thanks. Yes I probably said too much but I really didn’t want to get into stop and search situation. Just said sorry I understand the dangers and tried not to stare at a tiny spider crawling across his bald head. Fingers crossed with the penalty notice. Cool trials bike btw.

    Good point. I've changed it now (changed it on the day). Lessons learnt here.

    Tried to reason with the guy and he said would let me off the black number plate and the fact I was off to work (wasn't covered on insurance for commuting) but yes I think I mentioned checking the time (didn't unlock it only tapped it). I'll see what the notice says when it arrives. Feel stupid as I knew the police where there and I did it without even thinking. Makes so much sense when you stop to think don't use your phone while operating a motor vehicle.

    Fully expecting to get shafted on insurance. More than I am currently (£1200 - a year which is way more than the bike cost).

    As far as I can see on internet 12 points is max for CBT (full car licence) but if I go full bike licence I may have problems.

    Did a really stupid thing. Stopped at lights and pulled my phone out of my top pocket to check the time. Pulled over and told it would be up to 6 points and £200 fine. As I’m on a CBT does that basically mean game over? I know I’m the idiot here.
