An idiot van driver who stopped to take pictures of a crashed car on its roof while driving in front of cops will now face prosecution.

Police were attending to the crash – ironically due to the driver being distracted – when they spotted the van driver behind them using his phone to take pictures. It led to officers serving papers and issuing a warning to other drivers following the incident in Dibden, in the New Forest, on Saturday afternoon.
