Police crackdown on bad driving
A lorry driver steering with his elbows was among almost 100 drivers caught flouting the law on the A14 during a week-long crackdown.
Police found an "unacceptable" number of drivers in Cambridgeshire who use cell phones and fail to belt up.
A total of 60 people were caught without seatbelts and 33 drivers were spotted using their mobile phones.
And 17 lorry drivers were pulled over for tailgating on the crowded road during Operation Tornado.
A spokesman for Cambridgeshire Police said the presence of patrol cars created a noticeable change in the standard of driving.
The operation took place in the same week Chief Constable Tom Lloyd called for urgent action to improve safety on the A14, after a fatal accident closed the road for nine hours.
This is the sort of roads policing that I would welcome, even if it was as ubiquitous as the cameras. This would improve standards of driving, give us much safer roads and help to restore respect for the police. Well done Cambridgeshire.
