It is already what those of us who drive with the Apple Watch were missing since it is the most normal and logical if you have it. If you bring your Apple Watch put and you're driving, to check the time you just have to raise your wrist and turn it so that the screen of it turns on automatically and I show you the dial with the time. 

This action if you do it during the day goes more unnoticed, but if you do it at night and even while you wait for a traffic light to turn green, the glare of the screen can play a trick.

A female driver in Canada has been fined, according to the police officer, for noticing that there was a mobile device screen glow lit inside the vehicle at the level of the steering wheel while waiting at a stoplight. The driver was at a traffic light waiting for to turn green to continue her march when she turned her wrist to look at the time.

The Apple Watch turned on its screen and the bad luck is that at that very moment a policeman saw the glow, after which he prepared a good fine for using mobile devices while driving.

The driver, Victoria Ambrose, was stopped at a red light when a police officer noticed "the glow of an electronic device" in her car. The traffic light turned green and the two cars in front of her moved forward, but she remained motionless until the police officer turned on a light in her car. The police officer proceeded to arrest her and give her a fine.

The policeman has argued:

Despite the fact that Apple Watch is smaller than a cell phone, in evidence, it is a communication device capable of receiving and transmitting electronic data. While attached to the defendant's wrist, it is no less a source of distraction than a cell phone taped to someone's wrist.

The truth is that this position is not understood and it is that if it had another type of watch it would act in the same way.What do you think of all this?
