Results: Man charged for wearing earbuds
Published on 04/13/2019
A B.C. driver has been found guilty for using his cellphone while driving, despite the fact that the battery was dead. The verdict came about because the man had his iPhone air buds in his ears when he was pulled over. The judge ruled that the man was using his phone because it was placed in the centre cubby hole of his dashboard, indicating that it may be used. The judge feels that since the driver had air buds in while driving, it was essentially the same as using the device.
