As long as your parked/pulled over to the side I think you would be ok.

According to the law the GPS has to be mounted on the dashboard. But I'm wondering Can I use my Tablets GPS unit without mounting it? It is a 10" screen and would just lay on the passenger seat.

Interesting I see now! Thanks Stanton and Hwybear!

Thats a good line to draw. I heard of a girl that got a careless when she was eating cereal in a bowl while driving LOL. When the cop pulled her over she had cereal all over her LOL.

I would be interested to know if drinking coffee is allowed or not while driving.

Actually, I am going to answer my own question. You do have to be pulled off the road and in park.

Sorry Atal, looks like your best bet is going to be a plea bargain to reduced charge/fine.

Hmm interesting, but he did say he was stopped at the Red. I know any hand held device is not allowed while driving but he was stopped at a Red Light though and was not technically in motion at the time.

Maybe argue and suggest you were using it as a GPS. Get a copy of your phone bill and make sure theres no calls at that time either. No calls/texts and then I would personally try to argue I was ...

Guilty with explanation should work, just be like your unemployed and you can't afford the ticket and you are REALLY sorry (Lesson Learned!) and bla bla bla and JP will ask you what you can afford and say something like $10.

I would recommend Xcopper.

Hmm..pages seem to be loading fast for me..what time were you having trouble?...Will look into the server, thanks for your feedback.

Welcome Irv!

Be more enthusiastic thats what you should do....

For a summons, don't think you can do a first attendance because you don't know what your charged with yet. As for your fine, I have heard of instances of upto 6 months to 2 years to pay it off. Explain your reasoning and you can usually get the extension.

Those options seem different. Can you scan the back of the ticket and post it here?
