Welcome to living in Canada. When someone decides it's smart to yap on their cellphone while driving, we all pay the medical bills when they run a red light and cream some pedestrian.

Paying for somebody else's stupidity ain't necessarily fair, but I would argue that it's a FAR cry better than the anarchy that would otherwise occur. The only thing that you (as an individual citizen) can do is to point out bad behavior, and make it clear to the offender that it isn't acceptable.
