A pensioner has been photographed texting and driving on the A36 in Salisbury.

The lady was caught on camera by the passenger of a car alongside her at around 11am on Wednesday 12 April, who told Wiltshire 999s that she has both hands on the phone, and was moving down the road leaving a large gap ahead of her.

The witness said: “The youth of today are the problem? B*llsh*t.

“She had both hands on the phone, no hands on the wheel. It was impressive.

“She was sat in traffic alongside us but she was moving at the same time… There was a very big gap in front of her.”
