A British motorist was caught driving while using a laptop computer, writing down the answers to a quiz on the radio and drinking coffee all at the same time, police said.

The behaviour was observed during a crackdown on distracted drivers by Hampshire police, with other offences including a man eating a pear with a knife while driving and motorists using mobile phones.

The force hired an unmarked HGV cab for the initiative in order to get a good viewpoint from which they could observe and video offenders.
