Driving 2 tonnes of car around a city professionally? Don’t watch TV in your lap – you’ll hurt someone! MET police sent driver on a retraining course at his own expense

I'd seen him looking down while driving at 20mph just before this point, and wondered what he was doing. Turned out he was watching a video on his phone while also trying to drive. He was swerving around the lane when moving, and I doubt it did his stopping distance or hazard awareness much good.
