A man is reported to be facing a criminal trial after he was caught blowing his nose behind the wheel of his car.

He was given a £60 fixed penalty notice after a policeman decided he was "not in control of his vehicle" when he wiped his nose with a tissue.

But the father-of-two told the Daily Record newspaper that he had "made sure it was safe" to blow his nose before taking his hands off the wheel.

He claimed he was in stationary traffic and had put his handbrake on when he committed the alleged offence in October last year.
