The cyclist said: “When I saw the laptop and headphones in both ears my reaction was just to try to document the best I could what I saw, that’s why I pointed at each gadget. Usually I tell drivers to put their mobile phone down, but in this case I was at a loss for words.”
The footage, which has been viewed 1,765 times, was posted on YouTube on 5 February.
In the accompanying text the cyclist wrote: “This bloke is driving a 3 tonne Land Rover in town, looking at a mobile phone, laptop and wearing headphones on both ears.”
