One woman was stopped in Poole Road, Westbourne
POLICE stopped two drivers caught using their mobile phones in less than an hour on Friday night.
Officers from Dorset Police's No Excuse team pulled over a car in Poole Road near Westbourne after spotting the female driver holding a phone to her mouth.
A spokesperson said: "Apparently it was important as she was on a call from work.
"She received six points and a £200 fine."
The second stop happened a short time later in Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth.
The officer said: "The male driver was holding the phone to his ear and talking away – another important call apparently as he didn't know where he was meeting his friend.
"He also received points and a fine."
