Undercover police have caught over 100 reckless drivers in one day.
Road police officers patrolled the M1, M18 and A1 corridors in an unmarked HGV cab, capturing shocking footage of 120 drivers committing offences that put lives at risk.
The operation revealed drivers using mobile phones, not wearing seatbelts, and failing to pay proper attention to the road.

Some were even spotted rolling cigarettes and scrolling through social media while driving.
Among those stopped were 61 HGV drivers, 24 LGV drivers, and 35 car drivers, as reported by Need To Know.
Eleven motorists were caught using mobile phones, 42 were not wearing seatbelts, and four were speeding.
Twenty-three were also found illegally stopping or driving on the hard shoulder in the five-day operation.
In addition, seven vehicles were carrying insecure loads, two drivers ignored a Red X lane closure, and 33 were identified as not being in proper control of their vehicles.
South Yorkshire Police released footage of the offenders committing the crimes in their vehicles.
It said in an Instagram post: “Roads policing officers are sadly too familiar with delivering the message that someone has lost their life in a collision.
“Our efforts to create safer roads are ongoing, but everyone has a responsibility, and those who fail to follow the laws will be prosecuted.”
The unmarked HGV cab provides officers with a unique vantage point to monitor motorists’ behaviour, particularly those driving larger vehicles.
Officers have emphasised that the operation is crucial for raising awareness about drivers’ responsibility to ensure their own safety and that of others on the road.
