POLICE have launched the latest weapon against drivers breaking the law in the shape of a massive undercover lorry.
The unmarked HGV gives police a much better vantage point to see motorists texting and using their mobile phones at the wheel.
Complete with flashing blue lights when needed, the HGV police lorry has already been spotted patrolling in some areas of the South West and has even caught a fellow lorry driver cooking a meal on a hob in his cab.
Police say the white lorry has so far been instrumental in catching out other dangerous drivers as part of a roads policing operation across Devon and Cornwall code-named Operation Allied Wolf and although there haven't been any sightings of the HGV in Swindon or Wiltshire to date motorists may find it coming to a road in the county soon.
