Airdrie RCMP were able to locate the driver – a 28-year-old man from Edmonton.
“Unfortunately, our officers see this kind of driver behavior on [the QEII] far more often than we would like,” said Acting Sheriff Sergeant Jason Graw. “This is the third time in recent memory that our officers have caught drivers watching video while behind the wheel, and in this particular case – in the middle of a snowstorm.”
The driver was given a ticket for distracted driving and failing to produce a valid insurance card.
