I'm glad you won't get any points, etc, but equally glad you got nicked. It's not on, whatever the conditions or the circumstances.

Major pet hate of mine too.
I used to have a hands free until one day at 70mph on the motorway in traffic I took a five minute call and realised at the end of it that I had no recollection of what had happened driving wise during the call. I could have killed someone.
Now I leave the mobile in the glove box and never ever answered a call in the last 3 years.................................until last week when I was expecting a call from an unhappy customer and had left the phone in my top pocket. It rang..... I took it out of my pocket and put it to my ear....................... just as a traffic cop stepped out from behind a car he had just stopped for speeding...............I smiled and took the ticket.......Serves me right...........The phone now stays in the glove box again.
Some may think it's safe to use them but I know of two motorcyclists around here who have been killed by people driving while using their mobile phones.
It's just not worth it.
