Well I now have some points. Was stuck in traffic and answered my phone, just as a police car went past, I wasnt even moving. 3 points, the officer was very friendly, remarking how he doubted I would be able to insure my car anymore. At the end of the day its my own fault, but it just seems that there are so many people out there who deserve them more than me.

Not really, you're taking risks with other peoples lives by not giving full attention to the road and the 1.5t of metal you are in control of.
No sympathy dude, sorry.
Yeah it annoys me seeing people use them as well, but I had the hand brake on, so I kind of figured that it was unlikely I would suddenly kill anyone.
Insurance is scary, if this puts it up much more I'm going to jack it in. Fast cars are fun but I'll probably just use it for track days or something.

oh yes, using your phone whilst driving, the political equivalent to shooting a child in the face with a shotgun.

yeah its bad whilsy driving but stoped with handbrake on is a little harsh as he said hes not going to write his car off when going no where
would all the do gooders get a grip.
He was in TRAFFIC with the HANDBRAKE on. Like he is going to kill someone being still.
If he was flying down the motorway at 70 I agree its dumb. in traffic doing 0mph its stupid and officer also sounds like a moron. whats your insurance got to do with him. how u insure it after he feels the needs to prove his power is your problem.

Doesn't matter, still illegal, your not giving full attention, its as simple as that and thats how the copper saw it.
I will admit too that if I got caught doing it I would take it on the chin... not matter how 'trivial' it may seem being sat at a standstill with my handbrake on.

Why is it the half (half as it was still wrong) sensible people who do answer it when its relatively safe like in this situation 
What about the (other) mental van drivers? There was even some tit in a fiesta st who nearly tried taking me out yesterday while on the phone

Not always, they're more interested in not victimising people, I dont see this as victimisation... just law enforcement which they are paid and trained to do.
