Distracted driving penalties aim to deter dangerous behaviors, such as texting while driving, to improve road safety. Proponents argue that it deters dangerous behavior, improves road safety, and reduces accidents caused by distractions. Opponents argue that penalties alone may not be effective and enforcement can be challenging.

Just focus on bad drivers - which seems to be the overwhelming majority. Touch screen displays over buttons and knobs are far more detrimental to conscientious driving than checking a text at a red light or train. Safe driving is paramount, however, nothing implemented to date has had any significant impact on road safety
@B2CTD2LNew Democratic2wks2W
try actually teaching and enforcing the laws as they are first
@B2CMT6Q 3wks3W
Yes, a majority of accidents are caused by distracted driving.
@B292M3P3wks3W
Yes, we should have a system where fines are levied based on income
@9WFR74Q 3mos3MO
Yes, absolutely. A large majority of accidents happen due to distracted driving, there should be heavier penalties on distracted drivers, especially if an accident involving fatalities or injuries occur.
@9TR9TK54mos4MO
it should stay the same but go easy on new drivers

All driving penalties should be based on the drivers income
@9RZPX676mos6MO
yes, but if youre simply changing your music there should be no charge
@9RMDWZQ6mos6MO
Distracted driving seems to be pinholed on texting. Increasing penalties are only valuable if enforced and that includes the screens built into cars now which can be just as distracting. If not - don’t bother.
@9RBY87R6mos6MO
No, add an RFI jammer to a culprits car, similar to the breath-analyzer added to a drunkards car
@9MKYHZ78mos8MO
Yes, and the system should be reformed to have the cost of the ticket reflect the offenders annual income
