Driver on M5 was filling in paperwork at wheel
A driver was caught filling in paperwork at the wheel as they travelled along a motorway, police revealed.
The motorist was seen using their steering wheel as a makeshift desk on the M5 in Devon yesterday.
The individual, who has not been identified, was caught by officers from Devon and Cornwall’s road safety team, who tweeted: “Every job has paperwork, but that doesn’t mean you should be filling it out on your steering wheel whilst driving along the M5. Driver reported for the offence with a fine and points in the post to them.”
Distraction driving, including using a mobile phone whilst driving, can carry a hefty fine and points on your licence.
