This afternoon I was coming back from a SUP, in a quiet side street and all of a sudden my mobile rings. Looked at the screen and saw it was my daughter. I just picked up it up out of instinct and then I saw the flashing lights and the quick siren blurt. I actually pulled over to let him past then realised it was me he was after.
Just stopped, got my license out and waited
Straight off the bat, he says "do you know why Ive stopped you?"
I went "Yep, the phone rang and I grabbed it out of instinct. Sorry"
He didnt say anything, just took my license and walked back to the car.
2 minutes later hes back. Looks at me and says, "You know if you are on thhe phone, you are gonna get cleaned up or clean someone else up. Wake up to yourself"
Gave me my license back and walked off.
I thanked him, thought to myself "hes right, what a dickhead I am"
The phone kept ringing but I waited until I got home to answer.
No fine, no demerits but it worked!!!
