A traffic blitz aimed at ensuring drivers were leaving enough space between themselves and cyclists changed into a blitz on distracted drivers Wednesday afternoon.
Police were using a bicycle with equipment that can detect whether a passing car is leaving one metre between itself and a cyclist and rode the bike in and around downtown Ottawa streets.
However, the covert bicycle cop noticed drivers texting or looking at their cellphones while in transit, which quickly led to a flurry of distracted driving charges being laid instead.
Police laid 18 distracted driving charges in less than two hours, according to a tweet from Const. Jon Hall, master motorcycle instructor in traffic services for the Ottawa Police Service.
Earlier in the day, the enforcement team issued four tickets for driving too close to a cyclist, two more distracted drivers and one cyclist who rode through a red light.
