Police have caught a man flossing while driving on the M4.A man was caught by police officers flossing his teeth while driving on the M4 in Gwent.

While it is important to floss regularly, there is a time and a place and behind the wheel of a fast moving vehicle is not one of them.

In total, the crackdown by local police – which took place over eight days during January and February – resulted in 57 people being pulled over, all of which were dealt with either through a fixed penalty notice or the driver being reported for summons.

Inspector Lee Ford told the publication: “The potential risks that some of the offences detected as part of this operation can have not only on the safety of the driver involved, but also other road users, should never be underestimated.”

Elsewhere, a man in Indonesia recently had to have emergency dentistry treatment after a cigarette he was smoking exploded in his mouth while he was riding his motorcycle.

The explosion resulted in him losing six teeth and needing 51 stitches. He is currently in the process of suing the manufacturers of the cigarettes.
