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.

In certain cases, like if the driver was texting, or using a mobile. It should be legal however, to look at (glance at) or tap on Sat Nav.
@9PK5T6D6mos6MO
Only where an incident or accident occurs and the distraction can be proven to be a contributory factor
@9PC9WTM6mos6MO
Yes, but only penalties which are not carceral. Driving bans should be longer and more rigidly enforced
@9MT73KC7mos7MO
Yes, but only where this has resulted in dangerous driving
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.
@9NN3R6Q7mos7MO
Not everyone is the same, many people across the world use phones while driving. Keep penalties sort of similar
Yes, but penalties will have to be changed e.g time-out penalties, since financiel penalties arent enough of a deterent to some
@9MV4FB57mos7MO
Yes, but taking situations in context and the impact the actions actually had
@9NQTQJCConservative7mos7MO
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
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
@9MV6V5Q7mos7MO
No, they should just better enforce the laws that exist
