It was Victoria Amp Rose who was charged with traffic violation when using Apple Watch. While driving on the street in front of Gelf University in South Ring Road, Canada, April 2018, I was using an Apple Watch attached to my arms while stopping at a red light.

Just aside, a policeman who works for a police station near the Guelph University has confirmed that Ambrose uses a digital terminal worn by her in his arm. Later, the policeman testified in the court that "Ambrose had confirmed the terminal of the arm four times."

Although the red light changed to blue and the two cars which had been stopped in front of Ambrose started, amp rose stayed stopped, the policeman finally took a light, the amplifier rose finally got into the green light He noticed that he started off. The policeman immediately stopped the amp rose and he said that he turned off a penalty ticket for traffic violations.

Although it was an act of using as a general wristwatch and claimed not to be a violation of the law, the judge did not acknowledge any claim.


The judge said, "After all it is" whether it was distracting or not "that this focus will ultimately be decided by Mr. Amp Rose is evident from the evidence that he was distracted when using the terminal" , Ordered payment of a fine of 400 Canadian dollars (approx. 34,000 yen) due to Mr. Amp Rose's violation of the law.
