There’s a guy in Merseyside, England who tried to get out of a ticket earlier this week on a technicality, but I feel like it wasn’t as good of a technicality as he thought it was. The cop pulled the guy over on Monday for texting while driving.
But the guy said he wasn’t texting, he was sending a laughing emoji to his girlfriend. So technically that’s sending an emoji, not texting, right?
Nope. He got the ticket anyway. And he also got another ticket because he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.
(Here’s a picture the police tweeted of the ticket.)
Driver stopped on St Helens Linkway whilst using a mobile phone and failing to wear a seatbelt. Driver provided a very unusual reply. #reported #Fatal4 pic.twitter.com/SMy8PrP4mz
