Two tickets in six minutes

A Vancouver driver was caught twice by police in just six minutes on his cellphone, Monday.

The Vancouver Police traffic division posted images to Twitter of the tickets, issued at 9:49 and 9:55 a.m., just one block apart on Seymour Street.

Each ticket comes with a hefty $368 fine for distracted driving, CTV News reports.

The tickets show the male driver of a silver Honda Civic was caught on the 800 and 900 blocks of Seymour in downtown Vancouver.

"I think distracted driving is an issue here, and I think it's not just the police that issue tickets, it's all of us that have a role to play to keep our streets safer," Sgt. Jason Robillard told CTV.
