The team tweeted: "Gentle reminder that using your phone while supervising a learner driver is also an offence, with the same penalty as using it behind the wheel. 6 points and £200 fine coming to the instructor in this car, seen by officers in Dartford Town Centre."

Kent Police later confirmed the woman had been a relative supervising a learner, rather than a professional instructor.
