Authorities apprehended a truck operator using his cell phone while maneuvering with his knees.
This reckless individual was among 129 other motorists caught violating traffic laws over a four-day period.
Warwickshire Police were monitoring the M40, M42, and A46 in an undercover vehicle from July 22-26 this year.
A total of 95 drivers were caught using mobile phones, while others were found speeding, not buckling their seatbelts, and under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Footage reveals one driver on the M40 towing a horsebox, holding his phone while steering his Isuzu 4×4 with his knees.
In the video, an officer remarks: ‘He’s got his mobile phone and he’s driving with no hands at this moment,’ adding with sarcasm: ‘He’s doing exceptionally well.’
Another truck operator was also recorded on his phone with his feet resting on the dashboard.
Meanwhile, a motorist in a Ford Fiesta was caught browsing through their phone with their right hand while driving along the M42.
A van driver was also observed texting while halted at a traffic signal.
In addition to mobile phone usage on the road, 44 drivers were apprehended for failing to wear seat belts.
These infractions were identified as part of Warwickshire Police and National Highways’ Operation Tramline.
Sergeant Scott Good, leading the initiative, commented: ‘The volume of motorists who believe it is acceptable to use a mobile device while driving, neglect to wear a seatbelt, or speed continually astonishes me.
‘These are not ‘safe’ drivers; they have chosen to engage in these behaviors despite their responsibility to ensure their own safety and that of others on the road.’
National Highways Assistant Regional Safety Coordinator Marie Biddulph noted: ‘It is disheartening to witness the number of individuals still driving irresponsibly on our roads.
‘Research indicates that you are four times more likely to be involved in a collision if you use your phone while driving and twice as likely to die in an accident if you do not wear a seatbelt.’
