Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in Oxford County were taken aback by a driver’s audacious decision to watch a movie while speeding down Highway 401.
In a social media post, the OPP said a Good Samaritan called police after noticing the driver watching a movie on an iPad that was propped up on the dashboard.
Officers say they clocked the vehicle travelling at 130 km/h, before pulling the driver over.
