In just two hours, officers with Ottawa’s traffic unit netted more than three dozen drivers distracted by their devices.

A total of 39 people were ticketed for using cellphones behind the wheel in the area of Bank and Isabella streets between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Thursday.

“Many more were seen, but officers were too busy with offenders to stop them,” police noted.

The drivers were so engrossed in their phones that they didn’t even notice the five officers out conducting the blitz.

“We were in full uniform, stood beside the road in full view of drivers, and we were still getting violators”, said Sgt. Robert Cairns of the traffic unit. “This proves what a distraction the cellphone is.”

Police noted that distracted driving costs motorists $490 and three points on their license.
