A MAN caught using a mobile phone behind the wheel has been banned from driving.
Daren Jordan, of Goostrey, was caught using a hand-held phone whilst driving an Audi on Alderley Road on December 12, last year.
The 55-year-old denied the offence but was found guilty after Chester magistrates heard evidence on August 4.
The case was proved in his absence.
