Man charged after driver caught using laptop, mobile phone and headphones at the wheel

A man has been charged after a video which appeared to show a motorist driving while using a mobile phone, laptop and earphones was posted online.

The footage, recorded by a cyclist, was captured in Aberdeen.

The cyclist, known as Aberdeen Cycle Cam, catches up with the Land Rover when it is stuck in traffic and films the male driver apparently holding a mobile phone. He appears to be wearing earphones and to have a laptop open beside him.

It was posted on YouTube on February 5.

Police said: "Police Scotland can confirm that, following inquiries into footage showing a road traffic matter on Queens Road, Aberdeen, a 46-year-old man has been charged and reported to the procurator fiscal.

"The incident took place on February 5. It is anticipated the male will appear in court at a later date."
