Dashboard girl driver given ban
A man has been banned from driving for six months after his coach was stopped on a dual carriageway with a girl on the dashboard as he spoke on a mobile.

But Jack Webb's disqualification for the incident involving the 10-year-old near Shrewsbury in February has been suspended, pending an appeal.

Webb, from Egerton Street, Wrexham, was filmed with a phone in one hand and closing a window with the other.

The 53-year-old admitted driving carelessly on the A5 at Colcott Hill.

Magistrates in Shrewsbury heard he was recorded by police traffic officers on video between the town and Oswestry.

'Arrogant' actions

Webb, from Egerton Street, Wrexham, was seen on a mobile with a girl sitting cross-legged on the dashboard of the Volvo coach in the incident on 15 February.

He had been spotted by police in an unmarked car.

Suspended? Appeal? He was filmed doing it and it was witnessed by police. If he's a professional driver then he should at least consider a hands free kit or ignoring his mobile no matter who it is calling.
