your receiving data hence mobile use when driving.

I see what you’re saying, doggy, but then the judge says this…

"Turning to Wagstaff, he said: “You had between nine and 11 second to see the vehicles ahead had you not been so distracted by using the phone, albeit on Bluetooth.”

It’s that “albeit on Bluetooth” that makes me think he wasn’t prosecuted for that although it was a contributing factor. He got put away for careless driving.
Whether you can be done for dangerous/careless driving if you don’t cause an accident while using Bluetooth for a chat? I dunno, but I don’t think so.

Using a device for communication. Is streaming an audio book communicating? Depends what the definition is, really. Me, personally, thinks no, it isn’t, no more than listening to the radio is communicating. And the important bit is you’re not using a hand held device.
