Complaint
The programme included several pieces to camera by the presenter, recorded while he was driving on a motorway. A viewer complained that he was setting a bad example by taking his eyes off the road and, at one point, removing both hands from the steering wheel.
Outcome
The presenter’s brief glances at the camera were consistent with the Guidance on filming while driving, but removing both hands from the wheel was not.
Partly upheld
Further action
Reporters and producers have been reminded to drive carefully at all times, and exercise particular caution if any filming is in progress.
