Truck driver 'watched Battlestar Galactica' on laptop while driving
Benjamin Trotsman, 37, was spotted driving erratically in the early hours of the morning by another trucker who called police.
He was traveling north on the M6 and was seen veering across the carriageway over a 25-mile stretch between Kendal and Penrith in Cumbria.
A Cumbria Police spokesman said: The driver was seen to be watching a film on a laptop computer that was situated on the dashboard in his cab.
Trotsman, of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, initially pleaded guilty to a charge of driving dangerously at Penrith magistrates court last month.
He then applied to withdraw his guilty plea, and change it to not guilty, but magistrates rejected the request.
