Motorcyclist caught riding and texting

A motorcyclist was caught texting while riding his bike on the A75 in the south of Scotland, according to police.

Officers spotted the biker using his mobile phone while travelling near Stranraer last week.

In a post on social media, they said the incident shows that “despite the risks, some motorists continue to flout the law”.

The motorcyclist was given a £100 fine and six points on his licence.
