AN "unimpressive" motorist proved that multi-tasking is NOT a good idea behind the wheel on the motorway.
The driver was stopped on the M5 in Somerset yesterday morning (Wednesday, March 9) by police for hogging the middle lane while on the phone.
At the same time, they were eating a McDonald's takeaway off their lap.
All this with three children in the car and a loose dog.
An Avon and Somerset Roads Policing Unit spokesperson tweeted: "Unimpressive multitasking from driver M5 today.
"Sat in L2 (lane 2) for no reason.
"Seen talking on phone.
"Vehicle stopped w/3 children and loose dog on board.
"Quite what hand driver was using to eat McDonald's breakfast with (from their lap), we don't know. 6points, £300 fine."
