VIC Cops Are Catching Drivers Preoccupied With Porn & It’s Not *That* Funny

Victoria Police have issued an appeal for drivers to please, please stop using phones while driving, after motorists were caught watching porn while on the go last night.

Besides offering less-than-ideal circumstances to have a bat, it also turns out that being distracted by phones while driving can result in disastrous circumstances. 
That’s the point Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Doug Fryer wanted to stress, after a Thursday night operation in Carlton found 53 drivers at fault. 

Outside of “punters watching pornos, we had people watching movies, we had one guy that had a movie going and another phone so he could talk to his friends” Fryer said.

However, the bulk of offending drivers were found to be fiddling on social media, “with phones on their lap.”

We’ve never loaded up some smut while popping down to the shop, but we imagine the lap technique came into it for some of the porn-drivers, too. 

The two-hour operation comes after a terrible week on Victorian roads, in which seven people lost their lives. 

In response to that issue, Fryer indicated a belief that blocking phone data to drivers could be a viable option.

That’s certainly a contentious proposal, and problematic on more than a few fronts, so we’ll just say this: put your goddamn phones away, and save the silky toss for home.
