Distracted driving penalties aim to deter dangerous behaviors, such as texting while driving, to improve road safety. Proponents argue that it deters dangerous behavior, improves road safety, and reduces accidents caused by distractions. Opponents argue that penalties alone may not be effective and enforcement can be challenging.
The penalty is currently 6 points + a fine, which seems fairly proportionate. Would be open to it if there were evidence it would improve road safety.

Payment should be based on income. I.e higher pay pays more. A Ritchie person won't be detered by a small fine. However a small fine could effect someone's lively hood

Not everyone is the same, many people across the world use phones while driving. Keep penalties sort of similar
I think the penalties are effective enough at the moment as they are however more awareness should be made about the exact fines and punishments you get for your specific actions
Yes, but penalties will have to be changed e.g time-out penalties, since financiel penalties arent enough of a deterent to some
@9MV6V5Q3wks3W
No, they should just better enforce the laws that exist
@9MV4FB53wks3W
Yes, but taking situations in context and the impact the actions actually had
@9MT73KC3wks3W
Yes, but only where this has resulted in dangerous driving
