The 5 Most Common Errors in Phone While Driving Notices:

1. Unclear Photo Evidence Often it is not clearly recognizable in the photos whether a phone was actually being held. This leads to successful appeals in 60% of cases.

2. Confusion with Other Objects Wallets, e-cigarettes, tobacco cases – many objects look like phones in photos. Without clear proof, the notice is challengeable.

3. Hands-Free Device Not Considered Using a hands-free system is allowed. If it is not proven that the phone was used without a hands-free device, the notice is faulty.

4. Operating the Board Computer Operating the navigation or music system is often mistakenly interpreted as phone use.

5. Phone Only in Hand, Without Use Merely holding the phone without using it is not punishable. The notice must clearly prove that you actively used the phone.
