An 18-year-old who was being escorted home by police found himself in deeper trouble after he was caught trying to take a cheeky selfie with the officers while driving.
Police stopped the man in Musselburgh Rise, Dunedin, about 7.50pm on Saturday and found he was over his demerit points, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said.
Police followed the man back home to park his vehicle, but while stopped at a red light the man pulled out his phone to take a selfie with the police car in the background.
He was issued an infringement notice for using a mobile device while driving and earned a further 20 demerit points.
The driver was suspended for three months.
