The offenders were arraigned before a mobile court, where 19 were convicted, while the remaining two were discharged and acquitted.

Mr Mendie emphasised the need for motorists to obey traffic rules and avoid using phones while driving as “we are already in the Ember months, hence the need for every road user to be careful.”
