Superior Court Judge Gary Morrison has dismissed a motorist s appeal of an October 2020 Montreal Municipal Court judgment in which he was found guilty of using a cell phone while driving at the corner of Hymus near Sources in Pointe Claire. The infraction was issued at around 5 p.m. April 10, 2019.
The appellant denies that he was holding his cellular telephone while driving, according to the court document. He acknowledged that he was using the GPS function on his phone and while stopped at a red light, he was looking down at his GPS to see if it was still on track or if there was congestion up ahead. The cellular telephone was located on the console of his vehicle.
