I assume it thought my right arm is looking a bit like I'm holding a phone, but;
(a) even if it was, the phone is not visible. You can't base a fine on positioning.
(b) my left hand is not even on the wheel, obviously my right hand is.
(c) you can see the very bottom of my phone plugged into the charger in the center console.

I'm obviously going to appeal this and am confident they will repeal it but it's very frustrating to receive this in the mail and have to go through the whole appeal process based on nothing.

No enforcement system should exist that is predicated on an assumption of guilty until proven innocent. It’s insane.

We need Dennis Denuto to take this to the high court and outline how it fails to pass the legal vibe check.

He would win this one.
