Authorities have charged a Hamilton resident after police say he was watching a movie on an iPad while driving on Highway 401 in southwestern Ontario.
Officers captured footage of a motorist who appeared to be watching a movie while driving in Oxford County, near Ingersoll, the Ontario Provincial Police’s West Region detachment said in a March 31 social media post.
The OPP shared images taken by their officers that showed an iPad propped up on the dashboard of a vehicle that was clocked driving 130 kilometres per hour on the busy highway. Police said the vehicle almost caused a crash.
“Really? WOW! Putting other innocent motorists at risk watching a movie… Don’t EVER be this driver!” the OPP wrote in its post. “STAY FOCUSED on the road, NOT a screen!”…
