A truck driver who was steering with his knees while eating spaghetti from a saucepan has been jailed for dangerous driving. The Presatyn court was told that Dutch driver Martin Veens, 30, was pursued by police in a helicopter after receiving reports of a truck being driven extremely erratically.
The truck was eventually stopped in Northop, North Wales. The prosector said: "He was seen eating food out of a saucepan while driving by using his knees. He was using his left hand to hold the saucepan and in his right hand had a fork." The lawyer speaking for the defendant admitted it had been "an outstandingly stupid thing to do". Veens was jailed for two months and banned from driving for a year.
