Clarkson caught on phone at wheel.


BELTING along at 70mph, Jeremy Clarkson <noinclude></noinclude>

Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson (born 11 April 1960) is an English broadcaster and writer who specialises in motoring. He writes weekly columns for The Sunday Times and The sun
 chats away on his mobile phone.

The loudmouth Top Gear host was snapped driving in the middle lane of a motorway while talking on the mobile.

Adam Blake, 22, and girlfriend Hayley Hayley (IPA pronunciation: [ˈheɪli]) is typically a female given name, but can also be used as a male given name[1] or a surname.  Byford, 21, spotted Clarkson driving with just one hand on the wheel of his 70s Mercedes.

 them on the M40 in Oxfordshire.

He added: "We could not believe that we'd caught him out. My girlfriend saw he was on his mobile.

"She grabbed hers and took a picture of him. I used to watch him every week on Top Gear and he was always banging on about the new driving laws.

"Everyone knows you can't use your phone at the wheel. Perhaps he thinks he's above the law."

When shown the photo, Clarkson said: "That's not a phone ... I'm not allowed to talk to you."

Drivers caught using mobiles at the wheel now face having three points on their licence and a pounds 60 fine.
