DRIVER PLAYING POKEMON GO ON FREEWAY LEADS TO CAR CRASH|開車上國道還抓"寶可夢" 造成三車追撞

Pokémon Go has nearly become a must-have game for everyone. Police have caught people catching Pokémon while driving over the past few days. People should pay attention to their own safety while playing Pokémon Go. Catching Pokémon while driving may lead to car accidents. On August 9, a driver was playing Pokémon Go on his phone at the exit ramp of National Freeway No. 3. He crashed into the car in front of him because he did not pay attention to traffic safety. ==LIU CHIA-LU, National Highway Police== His EDR showed that he was playing Pokémon Go when his car rear-ended the second car. The second car was pushed into the rear of the first car, and caused damages. He was fined NT$3000. In Taichung, a man was playing Pokémon Go while riding a scooter. As the police approached, the man increased the speed and escaped. He even made a U-turn in the middle of the road. At last, he was fined NT$10,000 for driving without a license, illegally using his phone, refusing police inspection and so on. ==POLICE== After chasing him for about a kilometer, we finally stopped him. He said he was busy catching Pokémon, so he did not hear the police siren. The police warn the public that using cell phones on national freeways is banned. Moreover, there are regulations on catching Pokémon at train stations and high speed rail stations. People are not allowed to catch Pokémon in airport aprons and control zones. In addition, playing Pokémon Go is strictly forbidden in cultural and educational attractions such as the National Palace Museum and the Lin Family Mansion and Garden. Last but not least, people who trespass on military bases, military control zones, and private households will be fined. It is worried that there will be people entering schools to catch Pokémon after the summer break is over and cause safety problems. ==PAN WEN-CHUNG, Minister of Education == We are collecting information on how other countries deal with such problems. We will take more advice and evaluate on the situation. The Ministry of Education plans to ask the game firm not to set Pokestops and Gyms around schools. They are afraid that this will distract students from learning and endanger school safety.
