I also disagree. We have an entire generation of kids who are now 20-30 years old and grew up with cell phones. They used mom's cell when they were 12 and mom was driving them to hockey practice, and they continued to use the cell after they got their license. To them- talking on the cell is like listening to the radio; except they don't realize the danger they are behind the wheel.
Now the law has more visibility; and has specifics. So instead of "undue care and attention" it is black and white- no handheld electronics. As well, this will be a law taught during drivers ed.
I also disagree that the police already have too much to do. Don't get me wrong; there's a lot of good hard working men and women on the force. But if their job is public safety; this helps them do their job. And let's keep in mind that as many Albertans die in car crashes as they do in murders; so to me this is just as important.
