A motorist has told Sky News of his disbelief at being fined for blowing his nose while his vehicle was at a standstill.
Michael Mancini had stopped his van in traffic and wiped his nose with a handkerchief.
When he moved off, he was pulled over by police who told him he had not been in control of his vehicle.
Mr Mancini, from Ayrshire, was handed a £60 fixed penalty and given three points on his driving licence.
He told Sky News: “I thought they were joking and that it was a wind-up.
“I was stopped in traffic and had the handbrake on and thought to myself, ‘Ive just got time to blow my nose.’
“Then police pulled me over and I was booked. I genuinely thought they were joking, that it was a wind-up.”
