Driver spotted on mobile phone was over the limit

|September 29, 2025
A Wearside man was caught drink-driving after police saw him using a mobile phone at the wheel in central Newcastle, a court heard.
Dale Crow, 31, was spotted by officers talking into his handheld device as he drove a Hyundai in City Road at 8.50am on Monday, February 24.
They tailed Crow, who at the time was living at St Cuthbert's Close, Hetton-le-Hole, to the Quayside address of St Anne's Street.
Crow, now of no fixed abode, was pulled over and breathalysed, prosecutor Rehana Haque told magistrates in South Tyneside.
He gave an over-the-limit reading for alcohol and was arrested, and an evidential sample at a police station while in custody proved his guilt.
