Distracted driving month shows gaps between law and police messaging, B.C. lawyer says
Distracted Driving month initiatives have one B.C. lawyer calling into question how recent legal decisions align with police department’s understandings of the law.
Sgt. Jason Barrett with Surrey RCMP’s traffic enforcement unit said that the motor vehicle act allows drivers to activate their phones with one single touch and nothing more. It does not matter what type of phone mount you are using as long as it is securely mounted to your vehicle and is not at risk of falling. Also, it must not block your field of view or gear shift. Because of that a window mount is not allowed, as it obstructs your view.A ticket for distracted driving is $368 plus four penalty points on a person’s driving record.
