New technology brings new problems and rules to solve them; and the Apple Watch is no exception. Particularly since its a new category – is it a phone? a watch? a new kind of connected device? – the Apple Watch is testing boundaries and creating new ones.

A driver in Quebec was fined $120 and given four points on his driving record for switching tracks changing music on his Apple Watch while driving.

H was charged under the section of the Quebec Highway Safety Code that says “no person may, while driving a road vehicle, use a hand-held device that includes a telephone function.”

The driver disputes that his Apple Watch is a hand-held. “It’s on my wrist,” he told CTV News. “That's where it gets really controversial.”
