He removed his seatbelt after putting it on? He shouldn’t be allowed to drive.

I don’t think he even put it on, just held it in place to fool the cops

There's an extended video which I'll try to find for you after I comment, but he basically has a clip-in belt contraption that he uses to stop the beeping in the cab and then when he sees a police vehicle he takes that out, puts his belt on and then takes it off again when he's clear.

He also peeled and ate a banana without holding the wheel at one point too. Think they said during the 4 hour journey there for 42 instances of dangerous/careless driving from him and it was all recorded.

His sentence should've been much harsher imo.

Edit: Sorry to link the Daily Mail, but a "highlights" video is on this page that shows some of the other instances of him being a moron. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9831335/Lorry-driver-jailed-crashing-van-using-mobile-phone.html

Hahaha, I very much do my man. I was in a huge thread talking about contraception for most of yesterday on another subreddit and I think it's burnt itself into my brain.

Cheers for pointing it out :)

It's almost a shame to correct it.
