Where in the report does it say that the driver was using a handheld entertainment device? I always shake my head when I see that the story has no relevance to the title. If you're going to title the report that the driver was using a handheld entertainment device then please note that in the story. The story only says the driver was charged with dangerous operation and careless driving which doesn't always or automatically mean that the driver was using a handheld device.

Anyway, looks like Giant Tiger lost a unit in that one.

Whoop, there it is.

I want to know if the entertainment device was a cell phone or a fleshlight, or both!?
Too soon? The people deserve details.

I'll log out now...

I apologize for anyone googling fleshlight.

Thanks @T800 - boy, do I ever feel embarrassed that I completely missed the first sentence and made a post about it. Did it get edited after I read it? Am I that old?

Feel free to delete all these posts as they are pointless.

I make one mistake a year and it had to be today - and so early in the year - ouch.

Both is the best

Especially when driving an 80 000 lb load down the road. Super safe.

There was a driver last year near where I sit caught with their phone suction cupped to the windshield, watching movies while driving. I get that some roads can be a little boring, but no professional driver would do this. Put on some good tunes and pay attention to your surroundings.

Keep well,
