Police said after stopping the driver, he was seen to have one phone in his hand and another in his lap.
The spokesperson added, “[This was] not the end of his woes however, as he was found to have cannabis on him, no insurance for the car and promptly failed a roadside drug test, for which he was arrested.”
Sussex Police have been urging residents to remember the ‘fatal five’ of driving – speeding, drink or drug driving, using a mobile phone, not wearing a seat belt and distractions while driving.
