A driver in Maryport has received points on their licence after Allerdale Police caught them using their phone while driving.

The driver asked officers whether they could be let off with a warning after they were stopped on Friday afternoon.

Allerdale Police wrote on Facebook: "Considering you were going past a school at kick out time, driving a big van, previously banned and saw a police officer but still did not get off you phone.... No.

"The kids did have a good laugh at you mind."
