Hampshire’s Roads Policing Unit posted on Twitter to say the man was caught in lane one this morning.

The police said: ‘Driver lane 1 M27 this morning, using phone to check his final payment from a court fine for using a mobile had gone through!!!’

It comes just a week after police warned hundreds of people had been caught driving distracted - including a driver eating cereal on the M27 at Fareham.
