A motorist was seen using video chat app FaceTime while driving, Surrey Police have revealed.
The unnamed car driver was using a tablet on their lap while at the wheel.
Officers spotted the incident during a three-month pilot scheme which used an unmarked HGV tractor unit to target lorry drivers breaking the law.
Some 333 drivers were given fixed penalty notices, 44 were given words of advice, 27 got graduated fixed penalties - given to those who do not have UK addresses - and eight were summonsed.
Insp Richard Mallett, of the Surrey Roads Policing Unit, said officers had also spotted a lorry driver texting with one foot on the dashboard.
Now was he sending a txt with his foot, or was his foot just resting on the dashboard while he texted with his hand? ;)
