Driver gobsmacked at nose wipe fine

Jan 28 2010

A motorist spoke of his disbelief after he was fined by police for blowing his nose while at a standstill in traffic.

Father-of-two Michael Mancini said he put the handbrake on before wiping his nose but was asked to pull over by officers who were standing nearby.

He was told he was not in control of his vehicle and was handed a £60 fixed penalty and three points on his licence.
