A Burlington man is facing his sixth distracted driving charge after a Halton Regional Police pulled him over while patrolling on his e-bike.

The incident occurred this afternoon near Appleby Line and Dundas Street.

The officer, Const. Matt Baker, was a little surprised to learn the driver had five previous convictions for distracted driving related offences.

Baker questioned the driver and issued a distracted driving charge, a charge which carries a $615 fine, three demerit points and a three-day driver's licence suspension.

Police said the man's most recent conviction came from an incident in January of this year.

"Clearly the fines don't work in this case however the new license suspension caught his attention," Baker said in a tweet.
