Driver caught eating at the wheel
North Wales Police has welcomed the sentence given today by Prestatyn magistrates to a lorry driver caught steering with his knees while he ate spaghetti from a pan.
Martin Veens from the Netherlands was seen driving erratically along the A55 near Northop in Flinshire.
Footage taken by the police helicopter showed him holding a saucepan of food and eating with his right hand whilst steering the lorry with his legs.
Chief Superintendent Geraint Anwyl, head of North Wales Police's Operational Support Division said: "This is a further example of some of the unacceptable and dangerous practices of long-distance lorry drivers travelling on our roads. The frightening thing is that this is not an isolated incident."
