A driving instructor was spotted by police using his mobile phone whilst a student was behind the wheel. Officers issued the instructor with a Traffic Offence Report after the car was pulled over on Great Clowes Street, in Salford.
The student driving the white Toyota had spotted police patrols and pulled over the vehicle on Tuesday (January 31) - but police said the instructor had not noticed because he was 'engrossed in his mobile phone call'.
The instructor was issued with the offence for using his mobile phone whilst under tuition, according to Greater Manchester Police. The force shared an image of the car beside an officer after the vehicle was pulled over.
