A MAN who was caught using a mobile phone while driving has been given six penalty points.
Ross Lewis, 44, of Hamstel Road, Southend, was charged with using a mobile while driving on the M25 in Surrey on June 11.
Lewis admitted the offence and the case was dealt with using the single justice procedure at Guildford Magistrates' Court on January 12.
This means the case was decided by a magistrate and defendants don't have to appear in court.
He was fined £53 and given six penalty points.
Lewis must also pay a £34 victim services fund and £90 costs.
