  • This is the moment a man using his phone while driving was caught - by two police on horseback.
    Police video shows officers on horses on patrol when they spot the man speaking on his mobile.
    One copper says: "He was on his phone - there he goes he's on his phone. That silver car."
    They then gallop after the silver Land Rover Freelander in Taunton, Somerset - and pull him over.
    One officer tells him: "You know you shouldn't be using your phone."
    The man replies: "No, no music. I have a problem."
    But the police officer points out there is a conversation going on and he was fined.

    It’s crazy to think about how 110-ish years ago it was common to own a horse but only the rich had cars. Now it’s common to own a car but usually rich ppl afford a horse.

      I personally think it's mainly because having a horse is very inefficient for the modern daily life. But having a horse today is "pretty" easy for the common, I think the hardest part is owning a large enough bit of land for the horse.

    I won't bother watching videos from the telegraph anymore if they are just going to leave viewer hanging like this one. Why cut the video off there? (Duh). Annoying. Leaves us wandering did he get a citation or what? I see they have 3.78 million subscribers-I'm happy for them. Won't be me.
