New Westminster Police busted the same driver twice in just seven minutes for distracted driving.
The driver of a Dodge Journey was ticketed for using an electronic device behind the wheel at 12:20 p.m. Tuesday – and again just a few blocks away, at 12:27 p.m.
New West PD posted images of the tickets to Twitter, Wednesday, urging drivers to put down their phones.
The tickets came with a combined fine of $736 and eight penalty points.
Along with the cost of the points, plus the driver risk premium (for those caught twice in a three-year period), the total bill will cost almost $2,000.
