A heavy goods vehicle was used by road policing officers to target unsafe activity by motorists.
More than 140 offences were detected and two arrests made in the specialist operation over five days.
The HGV allows officers with a video camera to capture evidence of any offending from high up.
The information is then shared with officers on the ground in other vehicles who can intercept the offending motorists.
The operation involved the Roads Policing Team, No Excuse Team, Commercial Vehicle Unit, road casualty reduction officers and officers from the Special Constabulary.
During the operation, a driver was seen travelling on the Dorset Way with both hands off the wheel eating their breakfast.
They were issued with a ticket as the behaviour is considered dangerous and does not leave someone in control of their vehicle.
A heavy goods vehicle driver was stopped after being reported by a member of the public for suspected drink driving.
He was intercepted by officers and arrested, before being charged and sentenced to a 28-month disqualification from driving, as well as a 12-month community order and a £1,200 fine for breaching the drivers’ hours limit.
Throughout the week, 77 motorists were fined for not wearing a seatbelt, 27 people were dealt with for using their phone while driving, 15 people were found to be driving without due care and attention, 13 motorists were not in proper control of their vehicle, 12 vehicles were insecurely loaded and two vehicles were seized.
Police Sergeant Dave Cotterill, of the Roads Policing Team, said: “Our ultimate goal is to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on Dorset’s roads and we are exploring all options available to us to identify anyone not adhering to the law.
“Not wearing a seatbelt, driver distractions, drink driving and careless driving are all part of the fatal five, which are deemed as the leading cause of collisions that result in a death or serious injury.
“The outcome of this week shows the importance of this type of operation. Almost 30 offences were identified every day, which could each have led to a tragic consequence due to a momentary lapse of judgement.
“I would like to thank everyone involved in this operation for making it a success, including our special constables who gave up their time to protect road users across the county.
“We will be continuing our relentless efforts, working with our partners, to keep the roads safe and reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured using a vehicle in Dorset.”
In 2024, 267 people were killed or seriously injured in a road traffic collision in Dorset.
The specialist operation involving the HGV took place between Monday 28th April and Friday 2nd May.
