stop / start technology and using your phone

[Greenmantle]

Saw someone this morning using their phone at the lights. The lights changed and I heard the car start up again before he moved off. Would this technology have saved his fine if a copper had pulled him over?

No, he is still driving the vehicle even though the engine is not running at that moment.

He was not “parked safely” (may not be the exact wording) so no.

As above. No.
