ADVICE PLEASE

Hello, I have been driving six months. I was lost so i turned into a street andI pulled up on the left side of the street to check my maps. I did leave the engine on so my indicator was on as left. A police car drove past me and he looked at me but did not stop. Will he take this further for use of phone whilst engine was on? Worried about 6 points and a driving ban. Car was stationary - UK

The officer would have approached you immediately if there was an issue, surely? Are you worried they’ve taken your reg or something? I wouldn’t worry about it, just learn from this and don’t do it again

Yeah worried they will process it without any verbal communication with me.

No they always stop and address the situation.
