A driver has been caught allegedly sending an e-mail while travelling along the motorway.

An unmarked police car spotted the motorist while travelling at 50 miles per hour along the M25.

Surrey Police said the driver sent the email, despite there also being an adult passenger who could have legally sent the message.

The driver of a silver VW Passat estate was spotted between junctions 11 (Chertsey) and 12 (Thorpe Park) at 4.17pm yesterday (May 23)

He already had nine penalty points on his licence, Surrey Police stated, so is now due in court. A court date is yet to be set.
