A lorry driver was caught scrolling on TikTok while on the motorway.

The driver was spotted swerving across lanes on the M6 Toll, near Cannock, during an undercover operation by Staffordshire Police to target dangerous driving.

During the operation the force used an unmarked tractor unit to patrol the county’s motorways and roads.

Police said the lorry driver had been reported for summons for driving without due care and attention and would attend court at a date to be fixed.

As a result of the operation the force dealt with 35 drivers for using mobile phones, detected 28 seatbelt offences, seized three vehicles, and stopped 78 vehicles.
