FaceTime whilst driving?

Surrey BiB got a good one. Car driver on FaceTime, whilst driving. iPad on his lap, speed by BiB in unmarked HGV tractor unit.

Other "excuses" elsewhere in the article.

As a trucker, I have no problem with BiB using unmarked units to catch other truckers and now car-drivers doing dodgy things.
They're very easy to spot anyway as they're unit only, which is very, very rare to see and with no limiter...they go like the clappers.

When car-drivers pass me in L2, I often see them texting one-handed or with the phone upto their left ear....and they still think they're invisible and nobody can see them.

I have no problem with it either.

The BiB have a vital job to do and need the tools to do it. I shouldn't be astonished at the stupidity of some people whilst driving, but I still can be. Much like I was with this story:

The mind boggles.

I think the best one is:

Another, stopped for speeding, said: "How am I supposed to know my speed?"

As I said, the mind boggles.

"44 were given words of advice" Is that code for a bking?

Yep.

As I understand it it's normally when it's not worth the effort to try and prosecute or if the evidence isn't there.
Or if the cops just in a good mood or in a rush for his dinner.
