Missed court summons for speaking on phone

[stef1808]

Hello

I had a court summon for the case of using a hand-held mobile phone while driving.

The court case was on 15th April which I missed and not sure what to do now. I was accused of using the satnav on my iphone by a marked policeman on a motorbike - I was "using" my phone although was not using the satnav.

Regardless its the missing of the court case im worried about, what would be my best course of action from here ?

Thanks

They will never get me alive

No seriously, I'm a bit worried about this - thanks for your replies.

I'll call the court and find out what the situation is

spoke to the court and was told the case has been dismissed.
good news

[stef1808]

truthfully, i was surprised also

[stef1808]

wow - people really need to chill out.

the court obviously didn't find it necessary to prosecute me for being on the phone, yet some people behind their keyboard think they know it all and it makes for reading your comments really boring.

thanks again to those who actually responded with advice on what to do with the situation i was in (hence the reason of making the thread)

Your the idiot caught, in you own admission using the device.
Perhaps you will now invest in hands free kit or better still just don't use the phone while your driving.
Or will you feel the same way if someone runs into you or knocks your kid over while using the phone and driving eh ?

Not hiding behind a keyboard I would tell you to your face.

god, stop being an old boring women. isn't there other threads to troll ?

Truth Hurt does it?

You come onto a public forum and admit you were using a hand held device, well you have to expect some flack.
I have lost count of the times I see idiots like you trying to drive while holding and using the phone in full view.
Stop being a bell end for once in your life.

The only idiot here clearly seems to be you. I tried ignoring your comments but you keep with the insults..
Without any knowledge of the situation, i.e time of day, location, other traffic on the road, what I actually did "use" my phone for etc (surely even you can figure out why I wouldn't want to write too much before any court hearings) but being so narrow minded you continue to make these stupid comment which only make you look more foolish.

Is your life really that unfulfilled you have to come on Internet forums and call people idiots?
