Vancouver driver had phone and tablet tied to steering wheel

A Canadian man took distracted driving to a new level by setting up his own entertainment system on his steering wheel with string.

He was caught when a traffic officer spotted him wearing headphones and noticed a tablet and mobile phone attached to the wheel.

The Vancouver Police Department's traffic unit sent out an image of the setup on social media.

Police had "a lengthy conversation about road safety" with the driver.

"Just when I think I've seen everything, a photo like this is captured by one of our officers," said Vancouver Constable Jason Doucette.

Earlier this month Vancouver police fined a driver who pulled up beside two officers while playing Pokémon Go.
