Needle and Red Light: Woman Caught Knitting While Driving

Driving can sometimes be boring, especially when it involves sitting in traffic. Earlier this week, a motorist found it so dull that she resorted to another activity to pass the time.

Footage posted by Columbus Division of Police on their Twitter page captures a woman sitting behind the wheel while knitting. In the social media post, the police say a member of their social media team noticed the woman while a stoplight at Fishinger Road and Kenny Road in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday.

Although it’s not a serious offense, authorities do warn against the risks of distracted driving. 

This exuberant seamstress sure seems to love multitasking!
