    Default Distracted LRT driver

    This can't be safe. CTrain driver doing a crossword puzzle. It appears in the picture that the train is in motion and not sitting at a stop.

    Picture from http://d.pr/kQSe (Nick Heer, a beyonder I think)

    That needs to be going to Calgary Transit.

    I know the Sun will run with it, especially after the story about all the tickets they are racking up.

    Notice the lever position, pushed forward means go. He is at about 3/4 throttle.

    Gauge in the middle looks like a speedo, though I have no way of knowing for sure.

    It is the speedo, he is not in the core though, so probably around 60-80kph

    I wonder if there is a way to see if the photographer can tell us when and where this was?

    Doesn't surprise me at all. When I rode the train, I would see them eating, drinking, and even talking on cell phones all the time.

    At least he cant swerve into the next lane. lol

    That's fucked up. I can understand taking a sip of a drink, but my god, you might need to stop one day.

    Maybe not even needed. He's a fat boy, thin rimmed glasses, what looks like a high school grad ring on his right hand and he wears black/dark coloured converse sneakers.
