A truck driver in the UK was driving erratically. When pulled over, officials found a laptop with episodes of the TV sci-fi program. While the trucker at first pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, there was an attempt to get him to plead not guilty, which failed.
His solicitor Nigel Beeson said: "My client's case is 'Yes, I was driving along, yes, I did have my laptop on the dashboard but it had a Google map or whatever on it.' In other words, he was using a large version of a sat nav and "Looking at a map would not be dangerous driving."
