With so many people working from home during the pandemic, the work/life balance of many Torontonians has looked quite different.

But Toronto police say there is a line to be drawn when it comes to being on Zoom calls in your car, which is why one driver got stopped on the Gardiner Expressway today.

Police say the driver was "unbelievably" in a Zoom conference call while driving at 100 kilometres per hour on the Gardiner.

"Zoom meetings are a reality," police tweeted. "Just don't do them when driving."

It's not the first time Ontario police have pulled someone over for trying to get some work done on their phones; in 2019, a Kitchener man got busted by police for watching a YouTube tutorial while driving.
