Police in B.C. issued more than 3,500 distracted-driving tickets to drivers in September who were using an electronic device while behind the wheel, the Insurance Corporation of B.C. says.


The flurry of citations came during a month-long crackdown by police across the province.
 
We see this chit all the time here were I live. We have had a few kids die because they were on the phone & lost control of their cars. I always seem to get behind one of these drivers that are on the phone & not watching the road. I say that I agree that the phones shouldn't be used while driving unless they are hands free. If I need to use the phone I pull over.
 
Very true BB, some people have a hard enough time concentrating on driving without a cell phone..Yet you see people talking on the phone while drinking a coffee. half the time when I'm sitting at a red light behind a car and the light turns green and the car ahead does not move because they are busy talking on the phone. Drives me nutz.
 
Just the other day I was stopped at a red light. As the light turned green and I started to moved forward a police cruiser went through the red light with the officer talking on a cell phone. The cruiser went about 150 feet and pulled into a local restaurant. Just or the hell of it, I watched to see what would happen next. Surprise, surprise, he went in and sat down and ate. I don't agree with talking or texting or checking messages when driving but I don't think anyone should be exempt from that law and when cops are doing it, how can you expect others not to. Here in Ontario, cops are allowed to talk and drive. Hypocrisy alive and well in Ontario!!
