Footage captures moment M6 driver caught drinking mug of tea and removing both hands from wheel

  • 9 months ago
The unwitting road user was filmed on the M6 in Cheshire last summer as part of Operation Tramline – a multi-agency initiative to make the motorways safer using unmarked cabs operated by police.

In the footage he can be seen sipping from a mug of tea and removing his hands from the wheel before a police officer tells him to concentrate on driving.

He was issued a traffic offence report for not being in proper control of his vehicle.

This resulted in three points being added to his licence and a £100 fine.
