You're Nicked

Stories like this are manna from heaven. A senior police officer was arrested for using his mobile phone while driving his car, after being followed back to his station by an irate motorist.

Guy Darby, a chief superintendent in the Surrey police, was reprimanded by his force and ordered to pay 30 pounds (56 dollars, 45 euros), the equivalent of the penalty fine, to charity.

A motorist followed Darby to his station after the officer cut in front of him while talking on his mobile phone.

Using a mobile phone while driving has been illegal in Britain since December 2003 unless drivers have a hands-free kit.
