Ontario Provincial Police have charged a man they say was driving in excess of 160 km/h on Highway 401 while watching a movie.

Police say the man was pulled over around 7:30 p.m. in the Brockville area, which lies between Ottawa and Toronto on the busy highway. When he was pulled over for excessive speed, they discovered he’d jerry-rigged an in-car TV stand by taping an electronic device to his dashboard.

He is charged with distracted driving and stunt driving. His licence and vehicle were seized for one week.

Police did not release the driver’s identity — or what movie he was watching.

This isn’t the first time OPP officers have caught drivers in the middle of a flick. In November 2014, a Windsor truck driver was charged after another motorist reported seeing him watching a movie behind the wheel. He faced a $280 distracted driving fine.
