P-plate driver caught on camera swerving across highway whilst eating bowl of cereal
A P-plate driver could receive a hefty fine after being caught on camera eating a bowl of cereal while driving and swerving across a busy highway.
The driver, whose behaviour was described by police as “ridiculously dangerous” was caught swerving while travelling along Marmion Avenue in Perth.
The driver was holding her bowl in one hand and her spoon in another, appearing to be steering the car with her legs.
The footage was posted online and sent to WA’s Police Commissioner Chris Dawson.
“The report I got was that the driver (who witnessed the incident), who had their passenger take a photo of this, noticed because the car was weaving across the lane,” Mr Dawson told Seven News.
Mr Dawson said her driving was extremely dangerous and said the police had the registration number.
“You can't be driving a car and eating your brekkie at the same time,” he said.
It is likely the driver will get a charge of careless driving which could even result in the loss of her license.
Last month, a woman from Perth received a fine of $400 when she was caught driving and blatantly using FaceTime.
The woman also lost three demerit points.
