THE CANADIAN PRESS
PORT HOPE – Ontario provincial police say a driver who was pulled over for speeding on the weekend was watching an adult film at the time.
Police say they pulled over the car on Highway 401 near Port Hope, Ont., on Saturday morning and noticed the male driver was watching pornography on a portable DVD player sitting on the passenger seat.
Efe Osemwegie, 32, of Mississauga, Ont., is charged with speeding and operating a motor vehicle with a television visible to the driver.

hopefully his vehicle isn't equipped with manual transmission...
(assuming he watches the same stuff in city driving also)作者: shutterbug 時間: 2009-7-21 11:14
"operating a motor vehicle with a television visible to the driver" so by law, nobody should mount an in dash video player, etc???作者: B2L2 時間: 2009-7-21 11:51
Here in BC, the MVA said:
"Television sets
7.18 (1) Except as provided in subsection (2), no person shall drive or cause to be driven a vehicle in which the image displayed from a television set in the vehicle is visible to that person.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply if the image displays information or data solely designed to assist the driver
(a) in the safe operation of the vehicle or the safety and security of its load or its passengers,
(b) to reach a destination in due timeliness,
(c) who is a peace officer, to carry out his duties as a peace officer, or
(d) to assess fees or charges payable by passengers or users of the vehicle.
(3) No person shall drive or cause to be driven a vehicle in which a television set is installed unless it is securely and safely mounted in the vehicle in a position which does not obstruct the view of the driver.
[en. B.C. Reg. 466/88.]"
So, it is legal to mount an in-dash video player, but it is illegal to drive when playing something.作者: myversa 時間: 2009-7-21 12:56
I think as long as the driver did not have the view of the tv and it does not obstruct the view of the driver, you can play while driving.作者: B2L2 時間: 2009-7-21 13:20
Well, if it is an in-dash player, it would be hard for the driver not able to see it unless it tilt away from him.作者: Lil'B 時間: 2009-7-21 22:14
