Overview

• Footage shared on social media appears to show an XDP lorry driver viewing a screen while driving near J22 of the M6 at about 7:25am on October 14.
• The video, filmed from a neighbouring lane, captures a phone positioned on the dashboard above the steering wheel during rush-hour traffic.
• The person recording remarks, “Casually watching the news while you're driving the truck,” and the driver appears to notice the camera.
• XDP states it takes such incidents extremely seriously and confirms the matter has been escalated for an immediate internal review.
• No identification of the driver or enforcement action has been reported, and coverage notes a separate 2024 case on the M58 that led to a conviction over in-cab phone use.
