A woman in Bengaluru was recently fined after she was caught using her laptop while driving, leading the police to issue a strong warning for such behaviour. The incident came to light when the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for Traffic North posted a video showing the woman balancing her laptop on the steering wheel while driving on a busy and congested road. Along with the video, authorities shared a photo of the woman getting challan for the offense. Although the DCP didn’t reveal her identity, she reminded people that it is unsafe to work while driving and if work is so urgent, people should work from home.
According to The Hindu report, after receiving the complaint, the traffic police located the woman at her relative’s house, where she was reportedly hiding.
