Dorset Lorry Driver Busted Chatting on Phone Behind the Wheel
Danger on the A35
Police patrolling the A35 near Puddletown caught an HGV driver red-handed. He was holding his mobile phone to chat with his wife while barreling down the road. Clearly distracted, the driver ignored the danger all around him.
Company CCTV Seals His Fate
The lorry’s owner had fitted CCTV and hands-free kits in their vehicles. The driver chose to ditch the hands-free gear and risked it all with a phone in hand. Police now have hard evidence from the onboard cameras.
Licence at Risk, Job on the Line
The driver has been reported to court and faces losing his HGV licence. That could spell disaster for his livelihood. It’s a simple rule — don’t risk driving distracted. Safety first!
