Driver Caught Reading Paper at 40mph on Busy M3!

A heating engineer cruising down the Hampshire M3 was snapped reading a national newspaper – while driving at just 40mph. One stunned motorist spotted the man in his white van with the newspaper spread right across his steering wheel, oblivious to the chaos he was causing.

Dangerous Driving on Rush Hour Motorway

The motorway was a nightmare of stop-start traffic during rush hour, but this driver ignored all common sense. Despite new laws cracking down on distracted driving, he risked his life and everyone else’s just for a quick read behind the wheel.

Caught in the Act, Then Tossed the Paper

When finally caught red-handed, the van driver casually threw the newspaper onto the floor and carried on. His reckless stunt could have caused a serious crash – but thankfully, no one was hurt.

We can only hope that paper was worth the risk!
