Dave I wast planning on using that as a defense. I would say a never use my phone while driving and the officer was mistaken. And the benefit of the doubt should go to the defendant. I just don't want to make my situation worse by being served up a bad verdict. As I understand it 6 points is on par with driving with no insurance does anyone know the insurance bump this will cause?

I recently got a letter in the post from the police asking for driver details as someone had been seen using a mobile on such and such day last month.Anyway there was no doubt that I was the driver, however I cannot remember using my phone. It has now gone to conditional offer £200 + 6 points. I though they would offer me a course.Anyway after ringing the phone number multiple times the operator said it had appeared that a policeman had passed me on the dual carriage way and seen me holding phone to my ear. She was hesitant when I asked if it was 1 officer or 2 so I think its 1. Apparently there wasn't any footage and I asked her why they didn't stop me she said they probably had other things to do. I have had dealings with the police before and for anyone whos in any doubt they are liars I would say they lie every time they move their lips.But although I have asked for disclosure I doubt Ill get it. Its unbelievable that motorists are held to ransom like this. They know that seeing a solicitor going to set you back more than £200 but being asked to take a conviction without seeing any evidence against you or youll get a fair trial from a magistrate who wont think about the real question which is the benefit of doubt has to go to the defendent and just convict you and then punish you for questioning the system.
