Driving while using phone on busy interchange lands man with six points and fine
A man has been handed six penalty points and court costs of £191 for using a handheld mobile phone on a busy interchange.
Michal Ruzkiewicz, aged 45, of Harvey Crescent, Arleston, in Telford, changed his plea to guilty when he appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The court was told that Ruzkiewicz had been driving a Renault Master on the A442 Hollinswood Interchange while using a hand-held mobile phone on July 17, 2023.
Magistrates fined him £40 and ordered him to pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £16 and prosecution costs of £135.
His driving record was endorsed with six points by the magistrates when they took his guilty plea taken into account when imposing sentence.
He's been given until April 30 this year to arrange to pay the £191 he owes the crown.
