[#-3]

While I am not coming out in support of reading a book, shaving, or texting while driving. The letter of the law does not leave a lot of room to distinguish between that, and setting a GPS, Drinking a Soda, or playing with a radio on the dash board. The later 3 I really have vary little problem with, especially at red lights or on the highway.

Unfortunately the answer also cannot be that people need to go invest in the newest pieces of "Safer" technology every 2 years. There has to be a reasonable expectation that a mid to low income person can use the roadway infrastructure that we are all paying for. Bluetooth a few years ago, Voice activated GPS this year, Voice activated Bluetooth/Radio Controls in 2 years, in 4 years some little drone that squirts water in your mouth for you so you don't have to take your hands off the wheel. There will always be some new "Safer" thing to add to your car.

And as with most road laws I think that before the province worries so much about what the average person is doing, they need to change the minds and habits of the people expected to enforce the rules.

The speed limits, u-turns, cell phones, dashboard mounted computers, Food aren't rules the Police believe in, because ~8/10 police cars I see on the street are breaking more than 1 of these rules without emergency signals on (therefore I can only assume not addressing an emergency). If they don't make rules the enforcement officers believe in, then it just becomes some random need to hit their quota your bad luck today, but tomorrow you can drive right past a cop doing it with no recourse.

Don't raise fines,
Raise the Speed Limits,
and Cut back on the definition of Distracted Driving to only, Cell Phone, Book, personal hygiene, Taking your Eyes off the Road for 2 full seconds.
Limit the over use of signage. Like No U-turn/No Left Turn Signs.
Then fine everyone you see breaking any of the laws at all.
