Watch A Biker Pull Over A Douchebag In A Toyota For Texting While Driving
The rider - Eric Hanna - followed through with his promise to show this footage to police. However, according to CBC News, as well as the driver, Hanna himself could well face charges for this incident in Ottawa, Canada.
Sergeant Mark Gatien of Ottawa police said:
“I would caution people not to do this in the sense that he committed a couple of offences himself by splitting the lane going down the middle. I can’t prove it but he might have been speeding.”
He also called out Hanna for his decision to follow the driver for some time - something you can see in the full video - saying that it could have made her “unnervy.”
Illegal lane splitting (something which is legal in the UK and many parts of the world) and the the potentially unnecessary following aside, it looks like the lady in the Toyota FJ Cruiser deserved a talking to for her dangerous habits behind the wheel. Hopefully next time she’ll think twice before taking her phone out while driving…

Actually that’s a Toyota FJ Cruiser
People who use the phone while driving make my blood boil. Arrogant and Dangerous.
Should be banned as soon as they are caught !!!
“Jeep FJ Cruiser”
I’m British and even I know it’s not a Jeep
Erm, yeah, just keeping you guys on your toes…

He thinks he might have been speeding but can’t prove it?
I can’t prove it, but Sergeant Mark Gatien might smoke meth and be a pimp when he’s not at work.
Thank the biker, because the person driving the Fj could of killed somebody.
Soooo the biker saves lifes but stopping her using her phone , but he could face charges. :O
Police are just after money from tickets and fines
By hearing the cops, it seems lane splitting is more dangerous than texting and driving… Smh
It’s not if done correctly.
That wasn’t lane splitting, that was lane filtering and it’s safer than being sandwiched between two cars. Also her phone wasn’t out when she made the overtake, so that was a d*ck move
Yo Matt Robinson -
“and damn near wiped the motorcyclist down in a dangerous overtaking maneuvre”
Think you meant something completely different and you spelled manoeuvre wrong ;)
Why would someone up vote this… hell, I down voted it myself so less people would see it.
Wow. Maybe I should just clock off for the weekend now…
