I am sure that the news this morning said she was originally stopped as the policeman saw her holding something to her mouth which he believed to be a phone. For this reason it seems acceptable that she should have been stopped, but this would indicate that the copper then obviously felt he had to take it further anyway. There was also report of a man being fined because he was distracted by his wife unwrapping a kit kat for him! surely this is madness? No ofence to those that have kids, but in my experience of friends that carry young children in the car this is the biggest distraction factor there is and is often the case that you will see a mother weaving on the road trying to turn and pay attention to the child. |
