The higher position gives the officers a much better vantage point and officers will be looking out for drivers texting and talking on their phones, according to Wales Online.

Officers use a handheld video camera to catch those breaking the law. In the U.K you can get six penalty points (12 or more points can lead to a driving ban) and a fine if caught using a cellphone while driving.

In some areas of England cops have been using two-story buses to catch people out.

In one week police in South Wales stopped 120 vehicles with 84 traffic offences reported.

In Kent, England, a similar scheme caught a man driving with his foot on the dashboard and in a country where most people drive a stick shift this is no mean feat, not to mention extremely dangerous.
