The defendant was charged with driving while holding a hand-held communication device under the Highway Traffic Act.
The police officer observed the defendant holding a cell phone while driving.
The defendant argued the phone was in a mounting device that had fallen from the air conditioning vent and he merely caught it.
The court found the officer's evidence credible and reliable, and held that even if the defendant caught a falling mounting device containing a cell phone, holding it while driving constitutes an offence.
The defendant was found guilty.
