Since in Canada, distracted driving now outnumbers all other causes of traffic deaths COMBINED, why in the world is Wynne and the rest of the government obsessing over this?
 
I guess Bell, Rogers, et al have too much power in our government?  Heaven forbid we do anything to upset them and peoples' obsession with using their cell phones.
 
The least the government could do is make equal penalties for all forms of dangerous driving.  Penalties for drugs like alcohol, marajuana and opioids, and for distracted driving should all be the same.
 
If you think that sound harsh, consider the fact that most drug users have addiction problems and often don't make a conscious, clear-headed, decision to use drugs and drive, while most everyone who puts a phone in their hand while driving is sober and makes the decision that their phone call, text, or tweet is more important than the lives of other drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
