So how come the police still get to use their radios whilst driving do they change gear with a 3rd arm

They shouldn't (in North Wales at least); they have a hands-free system. There's a specific exclusion for radios (so you can still use a CB on the move, and forces with the old-style sets are legal), but the new Airwave system is actually classed as a mobile phone. It would still make sense for all police cars to be automatic though, like they are in most other countries.

the radios are built into the car they don't need to use a hand to answer the call. plus they usually have a partner

Well done to the cops on this one! As a cyclist and pedestrian, I feel particularly vulnerable with HGVs near me. I see people eating, drinking, smoking, using mobile phones, distracted by GPS systems / CD players, arm hanging out of window etc while driving nearly every day. It obviously affects other people's safety when both hands aren't available.

Fair enough I suppose, this guy was enjoying a full meal and steering with his knees so pull him over. Don't think it required full air support and SWAT team on standby, the police as usual spending to much time in the wrong areas.

he is stearing with his knees !

I drive similar lorries and i wouldnt even attempt that, and bear in mind he is most likely loaded up to his maximum train wieght of 44 tonne so if he cant use his legs to break in time immagine if that was you infront.

Good job they stopped him before he did kill some one.

i think he didn't do nothing crazy or against public safety, honestly i think the police should arrest criminals, not hard-working people.
