Driver Caught Filming Crash on Phone – No Insurance and Clapped Out!
A driver trying to capture emergency workers at a serious crash on the A14 in Cambridgeshire was busted for having no insurance. The culprit was caught red-handed filming the rescue efforts on his mobile phone while driving past the scene.
“Not So Smart” Driver Exposed
The @RoadPoliceBCH Twitter account called out the driver of a #SmartCar, tweeting: “The driver of this #SmartCar was not so smart when he attempted to drive past on his phone, we now have his car for #NoInsurance.” Just minutes earlier, police had warned all drivers not to film the crash site while on the move.
Filming on the Move? You’re Asking for Trouble
- Using your phone to film while driving risks prosecution for careless driving.
- The westbound A14 was shut for hours as emergency crews cleared the overturned trailer and freed trapped motorists.
- Police have zero tolerance for distracted drivers filming disasters instead of focusing on the road.
Think Before You Film
It’s all too common for drivers to slow down, rubberneck, and now whip out phones to record accidents. But do you really want your face blasted across social media after a serious smash? Caught filming on the move, and you could find yourself in front of the magistrates.
Leave your phone alone. Respect the emergency crews. Drive safe.
