McAfee’s solicitor said that his client had been in slow moving traffic and whilst he was on the phone he moved only a short distance.

He was unable to take up the fixed penalty notice at the time as he had lost part of his driving licence.

District Judge, Richard Wilson, fined McAfee 60 and gave him three penalty points.
