There are people who absolutely love sport. They live, breathe, eat and sleep sport and like to be kept up to date with everything that's happening at any one time.
While that's all well and good in the pub when you can glance at the footy scores every minute, when you're behind the wheel you maybe have to save that game update for when you pull over.
However one Sydney driver concocted a method to drive and keep abreast of the Cricket World Cup match between Australia and India.
He strapped his phone to his steering wheel, which had the live scores constantly showing as he drove across the city, as well as directions.
Traffic and Highway Patrol Command uploaded a video of the confrontation on Facebook, where you can clearly hear the police officer's belief.
"There's a mobile phone on your steering wheel," the officer said. "Sir, you can't have that. That is...that is so dangerous. I've never seen that before in my life."
It certainly didn't help that he was allegedly clocked driving 96km/h in a 70 zone and there was a two-year-old girl in the backseat that wasn't in the right kid's seat for her age.
The 33-year-old was fined for speeding, mobile phone use and an inappropriate child seat, meaning he copped 24 points because of double demerits over the long weekend.

That's nearly the equivalent of losing your full licence twice over. That's gotta hurt.
Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy of the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command said he was disappointed with some driver behaviour over the Queen's Birthday long weekend.
"We have already seen a number of motorists take unnecessary risks on the road this long weekend," Assistant Commissioner Corboy said.
"After the recent wet-weather conditions, we don't want to see an increase in road trauma following the conclusion of this operation," he said.
"Road fatalities have a tragic effect on everyone involved, from the families who must grieve a loved one, to the police who attended the crash, and the communities who have lost one of their own.
"If you are caught in traffic, be patient. You should not let your current circumstances tempt you into taking risks that place you or your family in more danger of being involved in a crash."
While it's tempting to want to keep up to date with sport, just don't do it this way.
