The court heard from the prosecutor that the 36-year-old driver had been caught out using a handheld mobile phone while behind the wheel of a Land Rover Discovery on the A49 in Ludlow, Shropshire, on October 28 last year.
Scott, of Temeside in Ludlow, was fined £220 and received six penalty points on his driving licence for the offence.
