Police CCTV sting captures driver texting while driving a horsebox
  • last year
A man was filmed texting on a mobile phone and not wearing a seatbelt while driving a horsebox on the A46 Coventry Eastern Bypass.
In another example, a woman was caught participating in a video call while holding a mobile phone as she drove along the M40 near Junction 16 for Lapworth, Warwickshire.
National Highways said more than 33,000 offences have been recorded since it launched Operation Tramline in 2015.
The initiative involves police officers being deployed in HGV cabs so they can film drivers from an elevated position.
