A driver was caught using their mobile phone because they were tailgating an unmarked car.
They then received a nasty surprise when they were pulled over by the car they were following.
Police say the driver was subsequently arrested after they were also found to be uninsured during the roadside check.
Wiltshire Police Specialist Ops's Twitter page, which provides updates on roads policing and firearms units, posted about the arrest and added that they had seized the car.
