Australian man guilty of using cellphone while riding horse
Excerpt: A man in Australia has pleaded guilty to a charge of talking on a hand-held cellphone while riding a horse. The case involved a 30-year-old man in New South Wales, according to reports. He and the horse were stopped by police after he was seen holding a cellphone to his ear while riding on a rural road in October, the Tenterfield Star reported. The Mudgee Local Court magistrate judge said “under the road rules a horse is a vehicle…and he didn’t have a hands-free device fitted to the horse,” the paper reported. (...) The defense lawyer, Tim Cain, said his client was pleading guilty “because he concedes that the horse was in motion.” [He should’ve pleaded “Neigh.” Ron P.]
