An image of a motorist strumming an acoustic guitar while behind the wheel of his car on one of Sydney's busiest motorways has been used to raise awareness of distracted driving by the New South Wales Police Force.

The image, which clearly shows a driver playing an acoustic guitar while behind the wheel, was posted to the Force's Facebook page recently with the accompanying text: "Whilst we don't condone the use of a mobile phone whilst driving, the driver of silver car can clearly be seen strumming a guitar as he drives along the M5 Motorway this morning.
