A man disputing a charge of driving while holding a mobile phone is to reappear at Longford District Court on June 22, where he will produce a phone bill in an effort to prove that he was not using his phone when observed by a member of the Roads Policing Unit in Granard last year.
Pat Donnelly, Barrack Street, Granard, was pulled over by Gda Aidan Lenehan last March.
“On March 31, 2020, at 9.55am on Barrack Street, I saw a jeep and observed the driver holding a black mobile phone. He was holding it with his left hand, across his face to his right ear,” Gda Lenehan told the court last week.
