Driver to ‘lose licence’ after using phone near police in A350 traffic jam

A driver is likely to lose their licence after using a mobile phone whilst behind the wheel.

Roads policing officers were dealing with a large oil spill on the A350 in Chippenham this afternoon (Friday) when they spotted the offence being committed.

A delivery driver was seen reversing their van whilst texting – right next to two marked police vehicles and a traffic cop.
