Man Cannot Drive Until the Year 3001

Leonard Davie, 62, was stopped by police in Sydney for a random breath test earlier in July

Police officers found out that his driver’s licence had expired in 1983. A further check revealed he was not allowed to drive until the next millennium. He would be 1,046-years-old when he was allowed to drive again.

iPad and Phone Strapped to Steering Wheel

Traffic police fined a driver in Vancouver after he was found to have his phone and tablet strapped to his steering wheel.

What are people thinking these days? Canadian police pulled over a driver who had strapped his tablet and mobile to the steering wheel whilst driving.

Despite this reckless driving and dangerous setup, he was only issued with a fine amounting to $81 – or £48.

To remind everyone, here is the UK law on mobile device usage whilst driving.

Do you Vape and Drive?

People who vape or smoke e-cigarettes whilst driving are at risk of losing their license if their vision is obscured by clouds of vapour.

Police say that an e-cigarette will be treated the same as any handheld electronic device. As such, motorists who are distracted by them, or the clouds of vapour they produce, could face prosecution for driving without due care and attention.
