Wiltshire’s Roads Policing Unit has deployed an unmarked heavy goods vehicle to catch law‑breaking drivers on the M4.

Under Operation Tramline, officers ride in a National Highways cab that lets them peer straight into cars, vans and lorries, a high vantage point impossible from a standard patrol car.

The force warns that using a mobile phone at the wheel is one of the most common offences and a proven factor in fatal collisions.

My sisters partner was killed by a hgv driver on his phone. I think it's as unforgivable as drink driving.

So sick of this shit I see so many people on their phones while driving. Is their screen addiction that bad they just can’t put it the fuck down when they are driving instead of endangering everyone

The arsehole denying his use of the phone whilst driving,should attract an automatic ban just for being an obnoxious,lying bastard.

I drive a coach for a living. The amount of car drivers on the phone as they pass me is unbelievable

"I've got severe anxiety and depression and you're not helping matters right now...." NoNoNoNo, YOU"RE not helping matters right now by driving while using your phone and not making absolutely sure you are insured before driving. No wonder he has an ex-wife, I wonder what she was told about this......

Shocking astra driver

Texting is the most dangerous aspect of using a mobile while driving. I agree any usage is dangerous. Concentrating on what’s about is essential.

I think one out of one crashes are caused by someone not stopping in time.
That can be due to speeding, using mobile phones, or even being an idiot.

I was nearly the victim of a nutter using a mobile while driving, Well done Wiltshire Police, catch these phone menaces and prosecute them to the maximum of the law, I have no sympathy for their stupidity
