The Incident
Surrey Police stopped a vehicle on the M25 because the driver was using their mobile phone, an offense that carries six points and a fine. The driver was already disqualified from driving and had 66 active points on their license. The vehicle was seized, and the driver was reported for multiple offenses, including using a mobile phone, driving without insurance, and driving while disqualified.
Legal Consequences
