A 49-year-old man who was spotted masturbating naked as he drove along a busy motorway had got carried away in a “messaging conversation”, a court heard.
Neal Marshall, of Whitby was witnessed by an HGV driver as he performed the sex act while driving his Ford Escort on the M56 in August.
Marshall appeared before Chester magistrates on Wednesday charged with an act of outraging public decency, the Chester Chronicle reported.
Marshall, who was convicted of the same offence back in 2008 at Stafford Crown court, pleaded guilty to the charges.
