But when they looked again they discovered he was using his other hand to text on a second phone. They said the man was using only his legs to control the steering wheel of his Vauxhall Tigra on a 70mph stretch of the A47 at Blofield, near Norwich. The driver, a 34-year-old Norfolk man who has not been named, is to appear before magistrates accused of driving without due care and attention. His car, which was allegedly uninsured, has been seized.<\/p>\n<p>Norfolk Police said the driver could face six points on his licence and thousands of pounds in fines if convicted.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman said: &#8220;Driving while using a mobile phone means you are not concentrating fully on the road. Using one mobile phone is silly but two mobile phones is amazingly silly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Police spotted the man earlier this month during a two-week campaign across Norfolk. A total of 239 drivers were caught using their mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p>Inspector David Ball of Norfolk Police said: &#8220;Using a mobile phone while driving has been shown to multiply the chances of drivers causing a collision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Follow this link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105300141.html\" title=\"Driver Caught Steering With Knees\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Driver Caught Steering With Knees<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 27 May 2011 A MOTORIST has been arrested after he was allegedly spotted driving along a dual-carriageway while using two mobile phones and steering with his knees.
