But before [the deputy] could get very far with his explanation, Ms. Thomas held up her right arm. There was no phone in it. There had never been a phone in it because she has no right hand.

    I had a cop pull me over for phone in hand. But I was driving manual and my arm was out the window. After a few minutes of arguing I said he should just write a ticket and I’ll bring my phone records to court.

    He told me to wait and then left.

      Ngl, I’ve let go of the wheel because my window arm was comfortable. Maybe bring up a knee just in case. “get your teen a manual because they can’t do anything else with their hands!”

      Bet.
