It’s a case of distracted driving on another level.

On Wednesday morning, Delta police shared a recent distracted driving/speeding incident on its Facebook page as a reminder and lesson to drivers.

“One of our officers recently pulled over this driver for excessive speeding,” said DPD in the post. “The driver expressed surprise, telling the officer, ‘I didn't realize I was speeding.’ While probably true as the giant stack of papers blocked his whole dashboard, this excuse did not prevent him from getting a ticket.

“Drivers - please make sure you can readily see your dash and mirrors, and that the view out your windows is not obstructed by anything inside or outside your vehicle.”
