MAFS fan fined $337 for watching reality show while driving

With more drama than ever before, watching Married At First Sight has become highly addictive for many fans.

But there’s a time and place to be getting your MAFS fix, and that’s not while you’re on the road.

One viewer of the show has been fined $337 for watching the Channel Nine show while driving along a busy motorway in Sydney.

“Highway Patrol officers were left shaking their heads this week after observing a person watching Married At First Sight on their phone while driving along the M1 near Sydney,” reads a statement issued by NSW Police on Friday.

“The driver was issued with a $337 fine and 3 demerit points (driving with TV/VDU image visible).”

In NSW, drivers who use a mobile phone illegally face demerit points penalties, while Learner, P1 and P2 licence holders are not permitted to use a phone at all while behind the wheel.

A photo shared on the official NSW Police Facebook page revealed the driver was in the middle of a scene from Wednesday night’s episode when cops caught them in the act.

The dramatic scene in question featured Cyrell and Martha speaking privately after their physical catfight earlier in the week.
