RICHMOND (NEWS 1130) – A couple in Richmond is in a lot of trouble for doing something you don’t typically see on the road. The pair was pulled over after getting caught having sex behind the wheel.

The driver certainly didn’t have trouble keeping up — with the road that is — he kept driving within the 50 kilometre an hour speed limit around Westminster Highway and Number 5 Road early yesterday evening.

Corporal Dennis Hwang explains what they looked like. “Two people were in the space where one person would typically be driving.”

Eventually, they were pulled over and the pair told the officer they were on a first date.

Hwang says whatever the excuse, it is considered distracted driving, but he’s not sure if it was totally hands-free. “However, an electronic device was not being used. And typically when your vision is impeded, it’s a danger to both you and your passenger and all the other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists around you.”

Hwang says it took them a while to get the license and registration out.

The driver was slapped with a couple of fines for not wearing a seat belt and driving without due care and attention.
