Can the police fine you for using your mobile in ya car whilst stat ionary but with the engine running????

Graceland

If you are parked in such a way that you are obstructing traffic, yes

Big G

I think they can, Ive heard you have to have the engine switched off
Wouldnt mind a second opinion or clarification on that though

Gaz 88

This isn't a "who the hell do you think you are" tone of question but are you a police man? I only ask because of the police car in your pic

Shings

Yes- the engine needs to be switched off....

I would prob want to make the car more "parked" too so prehaps half parked on the kerb.

One of Strathclyde's Superintendants got done by two of his own traffic officers within days of the points coming in for using your mobile - Ł60 and three points just the same as anyone else.

Wazzzer

good to see the plod are being treated the same in some areas

I cant help thinking that was some kind of gesture to show that there is no tolerance.

Cawood

Rhys

Yeah i think they can, well they can seing a copper said above

Also did you know you can get done if your drunk and sleeping in the car with the keys Scary as i have done that once or twice when i have been camping as it was more comfy in the car than on the feild

just because theyre coppers doesnt mean theyre invincible from the law

S1rst

I know mate i only found that out recently as ive done it a few times too. I think if you put the keys behind the wheel or anywhere outside the car then you should be ok (although not 100% on the law on that). At least it shows the officer you had no intention of driving.

S1rst

Indeed, but im sure every job has its perks.
