Is that for talking on the phone or texting while driving? [S
We have the laws in Rhode Island and Connecticut and they are going into affect in Massachusets soon I believe. It hasn't stopped anyone from being on the phone. The law has to be enforced in order for it to work.
I'm not sure about how the Saskatchewan law is written, but here in Alberta holding your phone or even wearing headphones that are plugged into it are considered distracted. You're not even allowed to glance at a phone screen while driving.
I was in Saskatoon last weekend and the RCMP had plain cloths officers on the sidewalk radioing to cars ahead giving them the tag numbers of people on the phone.
Smart phones are incredibly capable... so, you'd think it more than possible to make them "safe" in a driving environment. I mean, really, they make vehicles with touch screens, 360° cameras, "trailer assist", butt warmers and plenty of "feel good" BS features nobody really needs, while the driver is nosed into a bloody phone.

There are programs that do exactly that, if the vehicle is moving the phone is
unusable.
It looks sleeker, but it's more distracting.
All windows open, music blaring, 90 mph, little bit of rumble....phone? what phone...
I can hear you from here. Not so long ago I drove a 4-speed Impala with a hoagie sammich in one hand, a cigarette in the other, beer between my legs and Van Halen cranked at full volume.
