But the penalty is less than speeding, there are 0 demerits that come with the fine. I agree the penalty is not harsh enough, but we are skipping a whole bunch of punishment options before moving to seizure of personal property.
Why not try something along the lines of speeding 50km over the limit..6 demerits and a $350 fine, maybe even throw in a mandatory court appearance or make them take a class on distracted driving?
