Wearing your mobile phone like a Ring Pop won’t save you from a distracted driving ticket, according to Burnaby RCMP.
Local Mounties have issued 229 distracted driving tickets so far this month, including a couple to drivers wearing phones on the back of their hands via a ring or stand.
The maneuver didn’t prevent them from having to pay $368 a pop.
Distracted driving involves any non-driving activity that reduces a driver's ability to focus on the road or control their vehicle, according to ICBC.
It is the leading contributing factor in police-reported injury crashes in B.C.
