Hi, I was pulled over yesterday for using my mobile phone and was informed I was being issued a caution. At the time my phone was on my seat while I was looking at directions. The screen went off so I pressed the button on the side to make the directions come back up and I admitted this to the police. I drive a van and the officer claimed he saw me using it in my hand above the steering wheel (the undercover police car was much lower than my van so he said that's the only way he could see me using it). I have only been driving ~15 months so as far as I can tell from what I've seen online, my licence will be taken off me.
Would I have any chance of a successful appeal after admitting to touching my phone to get the screen back on?
Thanks
