    A motorist has been fined £1,000 for driving at up to 130mph (210km/h) with a hot drink balanced between his legs.

    Andrew Howie, 35, of Tiptree, Essex, was spotted driving his Mercedes Benz on the A120 at Braintree on 27 May.

    When police stopped him they discovered the takeaway drink between his legs.

    At Colchester Magistrates’ Court Howie admitted a charge of driving without due care and attention. Seven points added to his licence resulted in him receiving a six-month driving ban.

    Howie was also ordered to pay costs of £90 and a victim surcharge of £100.

    “I was trying to cool it down officer….”

    If he’s daft enough to keep it between his legs while the police officer walks over then I guess he deserves all he gets.

    If he’s daft enough to keep it between his legs… Full stop. Surely his car has a cup holder, my van has six!
