Driver playing Pokemon Go on phones, lucky not ticketed by cop

SEATTLE, 14 Aug 2019: 

Aiming to offer help upon spotting a vehicle stopped in the emergency lane along Highway 518 in Burien, south of Seattle, a traffic cop found the driver actually needed little help.

The cop found the driver busy playing Pokemon Go simultaneously on eight phones placed within a blue foam square, with the phones sitting in eight rectangular cutouts.

As the driver sheepishly agreed to move off when asked to, the cop didn’t issue any traffic offence ticket – as the vehicle wasn’t moving while the driver was using the phones.

The cop also made the driver put the phones at the back seat and reminded him stopping on the shoulder is for emergencies only.
