I was stopped for using hand held device and issued a ticket. I was actually using cotton bud(Q tip) in my ear to dry after shower as I use hearing ads since last three years. I showed the same to the officer. Even a blue tooth lying aside. I also offered the phone for caller history. A pessenger sitting beside also gave evidence that I was not using the phone but the cotton bud. Inspite all that the cope issued a ticket. My last call before moving from my home was from 05:40 to 05:43:10 and the officer wrote the time 05:50 at the ticket. It is just 700 meter away from my home when I was stopped after I drove. First I finished the call and then drove. I mean still there is a difference of 06 minutes and 50 seconds. I checked the disclosure. Officer has just mentioned the color of phone i.e. white while there were two phones lying at the console: black and white; both are in my name. He mentioned white because I tried to handover the same in which I received the last call. The otehr is never used by me. It is used by my wife who was sitting beside me in the car.
I have decided to go for trial with evidences and witness. I don't know what will happen in the court. I need two things
1) Detail about the Highway Traffic Act 78.1(1)
20 Any tip for trial/advice in this regard

Phone records themselves won't help, they'll merely show you weren't on THAT phone...still, fight it.

If you have a witness who can testify that, indeed, you were not using a cellphone or any other such device, that's what will be the core of your defence.
