A driver in Quebec, Canada claims he was fined $120 and given four points on his driving record for changing music on his Apple Watch while driving. While the driver disputes that this is not against the law (at least in Canada), many regions of the United States are not so keen on Apple Watch usage while driving.

While the full story behind their dismissal may never be known, it’s generally agreed upon the duo’s improv-heavy comedic style of directing clashed with Kathleen Kennedy and Lawrence Kasdan....
