THE driver of a tractor was stopped for using a mobile phone behind the wheel, say police.
Officers from the Dorset Police No Excuse Team spotted the driver on his phone while he was travelling on the A352 at Longburton near Sherborne earlier today.
The officers tweeted that thanks to the vehicle having "lots of glass windows" it gave them a "fantastic view of the offence".
