The court ruled today that telephone use was not the cause of the accident. After the man had put his phone away again, it took another two minutes before the accident happened. “However, the Defendant can be blamed for not paying sufficient attention to the traffic in front of him for a number of seconds prior to the accident, as a result of which he saw the sweeper too late,” the court said.
