She's got to be stopped and asked for her details.
And then she'll be told that she'll be issued with a fine.

The proper textual content fabric is in the amended street automobiles (shape & Use) rules 1986. the unique textual content fabric isn't online, yet all of the general amendments are [a million]. The proper replace is Statutory tool 2003 No. 2695 [2 & 3], despite the fact that it could have been amended particularly on the grounds that. (Sorry, I used to have a consolidated version attainable to me the place I used to paintings.) My worry-loose examining of the textual content fabric leads me to believe which you weren't contravening that regulation. despite the fact that, despite the fact which you may mount a helpful project utilising an costly solicitor, there's a threat that regulation a hundred (i think of) would desire to nevertheless observe. it somewhat is a seize-all that refers back to the different dangerous act. the priority, as I see it, is that the telephone isn't unique equipment offered with the aid of the motor vehicle producer. As such, you would be on the lower back-foot having to illustrate that determining on up the telephone, probably examining the exhibit, and looking out and pressing the superb buttons wasn't overly distracting you from retaining risk-free administration of your motor vehicle and paying "due care and interest". in case you're a member of the AA, RAC or comparable, then i could say use their centers. They defended a md of mine some years lower back who grew to become into clocked doing over 100mph on the M3 - he prevented a ban with their help. in case you at the instant are not a member, then i could say which you may in all probability reluctantly settle for the punishment.

Your friend shouldn't lose any points if he wasn't pulled over and issued a ticket that your friend would have to fight in court to get them back.
There are states that may take a picture (mostly a city wide cam) that will take your picture and send you a ticket in the mail.
This doesn't sound like the case so I am pretty sure your friend will be ok!
Please tell your friend to pull over if he/she needs to talk on the phone. It's safer and you won't have to worry if points are going to be taken away. :)

Your friend won't be given points. Too bad. Anybody who thinks yakking on the phone is so much more important than the lives of others on the road is a selfish dumb@ss.

The cop didn't do anything to your friend. He will remember your friend and his car. The next time, he may not be so lucky. If you keep drawing attention to yourself to the police, sooner or later, the police may give you more attention than you want.
Try to fly under the radar, and not be noticed, when you are doing something against the law. If your friend have on a headset then the cop wouldn't have noticed anything.
good luck.

You have to be stopped and issued a ticket. The ticket will have to be filed by the courts to have points against you and your license

Usually you won't just be stopped for talking on the phone. If it's making you drive erratic or you are involved in a accident, then it'll count against you.

She won't get points if she wasn't stopped and details taken, but please no using a phone whilst driving, big distractor, too easy to cost lives
