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.

The government needs two assess all of the ways it issues out fines. In some ways they’re completely over the top and other ways they’re completely inadequate so I believe in overlooking the whole system and coming up with a better solution than just setting up cameras at every corner to give you a ticket on every stupid little thing you do

Should the Ireland prime minister increase not concession is distracted by drivers and restrictions by areas of public's assistant issue by Switzerland prime minister with different penalty in personal

All driving penalties should be based on the drivers income
@9RZPX677mos7MO
yes, but if youre simply changing your music there should be no charge
@9RMDWZQ8mos8MO
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.
@9RBY87R8mos8MO
No, add an RFI jammer to a culprits car, similar to the breath-analyzer added to a drunkards car
@9MKYHZ710mos10MO
Yes, and the system should be reformed to have the cost of the ticket reflect the offenders annual income
@B2WCXGTLibertarian4wks4W
Smokers should be added to distracted driving laws
@B2HMZCY2mos2MO
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 Democratic2mos2MO
try actually teaching and enforcing the laws as they are first
@B2CMT6Q 2mos2MO
Yes, a majority of accidents are caused by distracted driving.
@B292M3P2mos2MO
Yes, we should have a system where fines are levied based on income
@9WFR74Q 5mos5MO
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.
@9TR9TK56mos6MO
it should stay the same but go easy on new drivers
@B3QNMWT2 days2D
The parameters of distracted driving need to be far more clear. You can be distracted adjusting your fan control or turning up the music just as easily as using a phone.
