An officer was filmed by a member of the public as he used a mobile phone while at traffic lights.

An investigation's been launched by West Yorkshire Police after an officer was filmed using his phone while behind the wheel in a police van in Bradford.

The footage was taken in the city centre by Rizwan Desai, who has described the incident, on 15 March, as "disgraceful" and "horrendous".

Mr Desai said the officer was “putting people’s lives at risk” and his actions were “hypocritical".

Supt Daniel Greenwood, from West Yorkshire Police, said: "A complaint has been received in relation to a police officer appearing to use his mobile phone while driving a vehicle in Bradford.

"An investigation is also ongoing in relation to possible road traffic offences and these will be dealt with as if they were committed by a member of the public."

Highways England is currently working on the carriageway, which means traffic travelling at 70mph has to slow down to the much slower limit.

But it's left some drivers feeling like they are crawling along - and has led to Highways England tweeting this response:

Earlier we asked you about the state of the roads where you are, after it was revealed today it would cost £1bn to fix all of Yorkshire's potholes.

Nearly 190,000 potholes were filled in across Yorkshire last year, according to a survey by the Asphalt Industry Alliance.

We've already heard back from Spencer Guest, in Wakefield, who says the roads where he lives in Outwood are "a mess".

"They got very badly patched a few months ago and they've already re-opened. I live about a mile from the M1 and I can count more than 30 potholes," he says.

"Some dangerous between home and the M1, some are deep, one or two the local council could open a small lido and charge people."
