Was walking down the high street today and saw one of the local police giving a ticket to a lady for using a mobile whilst driving.
She then drove a few feet further and stopped on double yellows, partially obstructing the main bus-only exit from the high street, left the engine running & made another phone call, all in full view of the policeman who'd just ticketed her.
When he came over to tell her he'd just given her a ticket for making a phone call and once again advised her it was unlawful to use a hand-held mobile unless the car was parked with the engine off, she gave the officer a tirade of abuse & at one point I thought she was about to get out of her car and assault him. :bang:
Can't say I was surprised to see the policeman writing out a second ticket.
