I really like this idea. We're not allowed to fiddle with our phones at stop lights, but I'm allowed to go into my center console, grab out my change ashtray and pick out some coins? That's about the same amount of time as reading a text.
I almost hit one of those clowns at low speed once, when he seemingly got confused as to whether he wanted to go to the median or the curb and 180'd right in front of me. Ans as mentioned already, one of them got killed at Southland and Mcleod a few weeks ago. How'd you like to live with that the rest of your life, remembering the face as it bounced off your windshield.
Dashcam footage should be enough to have a fine mailed to people handing things out their windows, encouraging people to wander around busy intersections.
