A filmer caught a lorry driver texting on his mobile phone while driving on the M6 motorway.

“I noticed a wagon in the middle lane getting a little too close our van,” the filmer said. “I noticed him holding his phone up — texting not watching the road. He did it for so long that I decided to catch him in the act.”

I was travelling home up the m6 northbound today. As we were coming towards the end of the 18 miles of 50 mph average speed check area which ends around knutsford, at 15:35 I noticed a wagon in the middle lane getting a little too close our van. I noticed him holding his phone up txting not watching the road. He did it for so long that I decided to catch him in the act. He looks straight at the camera while txting and doesn’t even stop! It’s narrow lanes and heavy traffic. This type of thing annoys me as I’ve nearly been hit multiple times by drivers like this
