NORWOOD, Mass. — A Norwood police officer was shocked at what he saw while stuck in traffic on Route 128 Thursday evening.
Deputy Police Chief Peter Kelly Jr. posted on Twitter he saw a driver with his head buried in his phone. Kelly said he rolled down his window to caution the driver not to text behind the wheel.
To Kelly’s surprise, the driver held up his phone and replied, “I’m reading, not texting.”
Kelly wants to remind drivers that reading behind the wheel is also considered distracted driving.
