A driver has been reported after overtaking two marked police units from Devon & Cornwall Roads Policing Team whilst watching YouTube. 

The incident happened on 20th February on the A38 in Ashburton.

Despite the heavy rain that was falling at the time, the motorist sped along at 80 mph and seemingly failed to notice the two marked police vehicles ahead of him. 

When the driver was stopped by the police, he apparently could not offer any rationale to the officers regarding the manner of his driving.

A spokesperson for Devon & Cornwall Roads Policing Team tweeted:

‘The driver of this Ford Fiesta thought overtaking two marked police cars on A38 Ashburton, in heavy rain, at 80 MPH whilst watching YouTube videos was a splendid idea. 

‘Needless to say, it wasn’t. When stopped, he couldn’t offer any explanation. 

‘Driver reported.’

Responding to the tweet, one social media user said:

‘He can be the next star of social media for his utter stupidity!’

Another commented:

‘I wanna say “d**k of the day” but I’m sure,well I know there’s plenty out there. 

‘Did 300 miles today and still can’t fathom the amount of drivers who can’t be bothered with lights.’

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
