Please do more of this! I am an hgv driver and I see it every single day! Keep up with the good work! 🙏👍🏻

I couldn't believe that lorry driver. He was even oblivious to the police car and sirens behind him.

Well done need more operations like this all over the U.K you have most probably saved someone's life today.

Thank you - as a driver doing many miles all over the UK - this pro active approach to catch the dickhead drivers out there is appreciated

This is brilliant. As a motorcyclist these arrogant drivers pose a significant threat, even a bit of a swerve on a motorway could be major for us two wheelers. Keep up the great work.

HUGE fines and NINE points please. These dangerous distracted idiots need to be taken off the roads. I very nearly had a head-on collision on a narrow road with a woman who was "playing" on her phone. I used my horn and braked simultaneously, she came out of her "phone stupor" and we stopped just inches apart. I didn't have a dashcam, if I had the footage would have gone to Roads Policing. My flat looks over a busy T-junction and EVERY day I see people using their phones whilst turning, coming up to the give way markings etc. Drivers just don't care - increase the fines and points for this offence - too many innocent people are killed by these selfish idiots.

These observation solo units are fantastic. Keep up the good work guys & make our roads safer for everyone. Respect.

Great to see you taking action, it’s such a common sight on the M6 through Staffordshire and Cheshire.

Two years on this behaviour is still prevalent across the UK. Much harsher penalties are long overdue.

This is good policing. Phone users are a dangerous menace.

Lol, sometimes when I'm driving my truck I turn the radio down to concentrate, I wouldn't even attempt to text whilst driving.

People really don’t realise just how dangerous being on your phone or being generally distracted for a couple seconds can be. Punishments for this kind of thing need to higher

Permanent bans needed, refusal for insurance cover. Whatever it takes to keep these utter clown off the road.

Nothing can be that important that you need to text while driving

Absolutely great work chaps! You should be doing this every day and maybe the message will get through to these ignorant selfish morons that it is completely unacceptable behaviour and they WILL get caught. An automatic 6 month ban, car impounded and sold at auction with the proceeds used to support more detection should be mandated for this crime.

Could you let us know the punishments handed out if possible in future? Hopefully that will deter a few more. Good work!

great work, great shame the penalties are woefully inadequate..£1000 fine & 12 months ban minimum...2nd offense permanent loss of license

I drive thousands of miles a year, mostly motorway. While mobile phone use has diminished over the years there is still a huge issue with foreign drivers, especially lgv drivers from eastern europe.

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant proactive policing.

From oblivious to oblivion, that’s how it happens.

Had the pleasure of one passing me on the M1 yesterday, I passed with flying colours but the two other trucks in front of me got pulled 😆

Being high up in a cab, Whenever you look down at a car/van at the lights or roundabout...probably 50% of the time there's a phone in somebody's hand...that's a lot of vehicles!!!

Touching a phone mounted on a dash is one thing, but this is outrageous

I’m a HGV driver and had this happen to me today, wasn’t doing anything wrong but I tell you what it scares the shit out of you, deffo a wake up call!

I am glad these guys are on our motorways it horrifies me watching people using the phone while driving a crash at those speeds is death-defying 😢

I do hope that this trial showed that a continual programme is needed for this type of work - thank you for the hard work to try and keep the rest of us safe!

Keep up the good work, personally I think these people should have their phones confiscated

Brilliant operation by Warwickshire Police. When a driver is not completely in control of the vehicle it becomes more like a weapon that can injure and kill. If someone was on foot with a weapon visible they would be a danger to everyone nearby and would be challenged and apprehended. The same should happen to these dangerous morons.

I also wish they'd also sort out middle lane hoggers. That's a video I would love to see

Fantastic work lads , there's no excuse for anyone on their phone , we need more of these , police in undercover HGV s also a good idea for catching drivers have a policeman on the bus watching out for phone users around towns

Brilliant as ex job and motorcycle rider well done. Worth every penny of public money.

A very good example of the police serving the public good and enhancing road safety

The geezer with the broken straps, texting, and no seatbelt possesses a very impressive level of stupidity, his bank balance must have taken a large hit after they were finished with him..

Glad to see the police do this because the amount of devastation to innocent families this distraction can cause is incalculable. Ban them for life I’d say for risking life! Well done @warrickshirepolice

Im curious to know how long it took the truck driver in the 2nd clip to realise the police were wanting to pull him over?

Police get a lot of disrespect from the public for going after people for what they deem minor offences. When families get struck by a hgv with a driver playing on a phone all of a sudden it's a different perspective. Keep up the good work

I love videos like this, keep them coming! I love the way the unmarked car comes up from behind! Caught red handed

Shocking stuff, well done police!!

What i find dangerous right now is how many people tailgate in a 30mph zone then they go on the motorway and wont go above 45 to join a free flowing motorway

Just make it a instant ban and a big fine

I just wish more Police Forces did this and published it on YT. Hampshire Police appear to be woefully under-resourced in this area as you see this multiple times every day. While you are at it remind the lane hogs that the outer lanes are there for overtaking. Well done Warwickshire Police.

It’s quite frightening to go driving on the road not knowing who you could be passing or being overtaken by someone not concentrating by using a phone, I certainly couldn’t drive and have a conversation with someone on a phone. And also try to concentrate on the situation around me whilst driving!….

Imagine driving along in a HGV and seeing an officer in a tractor unit next to you 😂😂

This programme needs to be rolled-out across the country. Those forces who don't, please consider doing it for us, the public.

UK has using phone whilst driving epidemic. 6 points not enough of a deterrent. Vehicle seizures and destroyed only deterrent!!!

Yesterday, at about 6.15 I saw a car driving onto the m6 j23 southbound. The slip road is only short, and, has a concrete panel at the end due to ongoing roadworks. I use this every day, and even so, you treat it carefully or else. In front of me was an idiot who had his phone on a dash cradle, scrolling through photos! While joining the m6! . Keep this good work up.

I absolutely love the way the police catch bad drivers. Sone of these drivers should be banned for life.

That’s truly unbelievable.

We need more of this.

I've seen some scary stuff here that that lot beats everything. Makes me scared to use a motorway which together with no hard-shoulders means I now clutter up B roads & pretty towns & villages to make my journeys, prepared to allow for the extra time & mileage(cost).

"Handling a mobile phone whilst driving - You may just as well be handling a loaded gun, because you are every bit as lethal".

Filmed in 2020! I’m a delivery driver in Wales and I see this every frickin day here in 2024! It’ll never stop unless phone signals are cut in vehicles somehow?

That's awesome. We need that here in Australia. Finally, I can say that for once the cops are doing something constructive.

Fantastic to see this. Just a shame you guys aren't patrolling all over the place, because I see idiots driving in excess of the speed limit whilst on their phones.

Great to see you taking action, it’s such a common sight.

30 mins later the truck driver receives a traffic notification on his phone: "tractor causes 3 hour delay on motorway with multiple casualties". 'Oh dear good job I missed that!' Proceeds to play games on his phone

I was watching this on my phone on my way to work this morning.

We need to see the footage of them getting pulled over as well and the b/s excuses they try to use to justify it 😂

Good work 👍 get these dangerous people off our roads

This makes me so cross. The lack of focus on driving while on the phone is so disturbing.

Thats great work Warwickshire Police . No wonder accidents happen with irresponsible people using mobiles behind the wheel.

We need more of these trucks on the motorways. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

Excellent idea, never suspect an HGV😮

I'm a coach driver and see this all the time keep up the good work 👏

Excellent work, time to rid the roads of these selfish, inconsiderate and dangerous drivers.

We see this all the time in Yorkshire counted 9 people on the mobile in one short journey and we saw two men sat in the boot facing forward which of course has no seat belts.

Handsfree is less than 10£. I bought one from China 4 years ago for 5£. Streaming calls and music from my phone and it still work’s brilliant. These so called professional drivers shouldn’t be on the roads.

Good idea... unless you have more than one brain cell & realise a plain white truck that's solo (isn't pulling a trailer), is coming up alongside you at a speed far too fast for it to be restricted to max 56mph (as per law) & is manned by 2 hi viz jackets...... but then if you had more than one brain cell you wouldn't be on your phone behind the wheel, so it evens itself out.

I want a TV show just for this.

6 points and a £200 fine from March 2023. I seriously have no sympathy for people doing this. Selfish and dangerous.

Well done guys, couldn’t believe that lorry driver on the phone and didn’t even notice the police car behind?

Insurance companies should have access to these videos with info on vehicle registration numbers.

People who use phones whilst driving should receive a instant 1 year ban from driving. Or even take there driving licence of them permanently

Who ever created the mobile also created a monster

I love seeing them caught like this. Well done to our glorious Boys in Blue!!👍👍👍

It's about time the law is changed if you use your phone while driving you loose your license

If we could get £100 from every driver caught using a phone at the wheel then the revenue raised would help fund more police officers.

I yelled at a truck driver this morning... Sat at the traffic lights, his phone being prodded at on the wheel. I yelled '6 points and you just lost your job' He was so into his phone, he jumped and dropped his phone. Then the lights changed. I see on average 9 drivers per day on their phones. I want to see mobile phone bans and network blacklistings. Lets see if a year without their precious phone teaches them a lesson.

I only go on the M4 maybe twice a week, and I am always seeing people weaving about who are on mobile phones when O overtake them.

It’s been proven that looking at your phone is as dangerous and drink driving yet still there is only points. 12 month ban for using your phone will help stop the majority of offenders. Just like drink drivers it won’t stop them all but it will help in the long run.

I am 100% in favour of the Police doing road checks like this . Phones are a distraction , you can kill , your NOT in full control . Mine is a flip in my trouser pocket on full Bluetooth .

Mandatory £5k fine and / or seize vehicle and a month’s disqualification would solve this problem overnight !

Great to see. Maybe when people see they are being seen and prosecuted, they may start leaving the phone in their pocket.

I see so many people on their phones, it’s actually crazy.

Great work lads, ignorant potential killers/family destroyers and for what!!!! I just wish it was an automatic ban.

This needs rolling out nationwide

£2.000 fine and 6 month ban would be more of a deterrent

Well done lads.. I driven a lot on our motorways/roads and other than litter on the verge’s,idiots on phone 📞 really do my head in ..

These drivers sicken me. I would like to see them banned.

Great stuff. If my phone rings, so what? If it's a medical emergency with one of the family, what the hell can I do behind the wheel of a car miles from the event? I don't live by, or for, the phone.

It is terrifying, how much people are don't paying attention while driving

This is why we need to fund the police best we can, so they can do extra stuff like this.

Top job people, please do more to get these morons fined or banned in fact it should be an instant 3 month ban for using a phone or device while driving.... Well done.

well done police we need more police doing this it makes me mad people using their mobiles while driving

I live in Copenhagen denmark and see this all the time it pisses me off when us other drivers obey the law and haft to put up with them and the cyclists are no better with headphones on and no lights and its the poor car and truck drivers fault if you touch them the cyclists is like a god here in Copenhagen denmark i call them the untouchables it's very rare you see the police stopping them.

Good im glad they are finally taking it seriously.

The law HAS to change. Instant ban for a minimum of 12 months (or more?) with the vehicle being impounded for the length of that ban. Too bad if it's a company vehicle and too bad if the driver losses their job, it's up to them to 'justify' their actions to their employer and family.

Any ibred using a phone while driving should get banned from driving, about time something was built into phones so if there gps measures there moving over 5 or 10 miles per hour they shut off

hope they all get the full force of the law heavy fines and points if not a ban

That's just plain scary !!! And what's with all the blacked out windows??
