Clip, clop, clip clop, beware the cop

Police in Western Australia will withdraw an AUD250 fine imposed on a tourist operator for using a mobile phone while driving a horse and wagon.

The operator was earlier this month booked for talking on his mobile while travelling at about 2km/h in his wagon, which takes tourists around the Swan Valley wine region outside of Perth.

Police said they had reviewed the circumstances and decided "a caution could have been issued in the first instance".

The same police force recently apologised to a young woman who was wrongly fined AUD250 by a traffic officer for talking on a mobile phone while she was pushing a pram,

The woman was walking her child on a footpath when a senior constable issued her with an infringement for using a mobile phone while in charge of a vehicle.
