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…

Typical Toyota driver: Texts and drives, drives slow in the fast lane because he thinks he has the right to do so, commits road infractions without noticing, etc. (Except Supra drivers)
This happened in my hometown. For those who don’t know Ottawa, it sums up our average drivers in a nutshell.
Don’t use your phone behind the wheel……. in town
