Washington State Patrol Finds Driver Running Pokemon GO On 8 Different Phones
Ever been guilty of playing Pokemon GO while at the driver’s seat? Well, you’re probably just small fry compared to this guy.
Recently, one officer of the Washington State Patrol came across what appeared to be a driver playing Pokemon GO on 8 different mobile phones at the same time! Fortunately, the man in question was not actually driving – and was simply playing the game while parked at the side of the road. Regardless, he was instructed to stash the phones away and head on his merry way.

This isn’t the first time that Pokemon GO players have been hitting the road with multiple phones at their disposal. Longtime readers will probably recall San Yuan, the amazing Taiwanese uncle who strapped 30 phones to his bike to play Pokemon GO. Perhaps this Washington driver wasn’t quite as extreme – but his dedication to the mobile AR game is certainly clear!
In any case, one can only hope that these individuals continue to catch Pokemon cautiously. To every trainer out there reading this: keep your eyes on the road and the pavement!
