交通灯看手机被罚

[uglyducking]

罚单上应该是分心驾驶。任何触摸屏幕的行为都算违规， 严格来讲， 复杂的吃东西动作也是不允许的

比方说用筷子吃

经常在红灯的时候去拿手机播音乐。。以后得注意了

What counts as distracted driving?​

( Note: I underlined some easily confusing or overlooking parts)

Ontario’s distracted driving laws apply to the use of hand-held communication/entertainment devices and certain display screens.

While you are driving, including when you are stopped in traffic or at a red light, it is illegal to:

• use a phone or other hand-held wireless communication device to text or dial – you can only touch a device to call 911 in an emergency
• use a hand-held electronic entertainment device, such as a tablet or portable gaming console
• view display screens unrelated to driving, such as watching a video
• program a GPS device, except by voice commands

You are allowed to use hands-free wireless communications devices with an earpiece, lapel button or Bluetooth. You can view GPS display screens as long as they are built into your vehicle’s dashboard or securely mounted on the dashboard.

Other actions such as eating, drinking, grooming, smoking, reading and reaching for objects are not part of Ontario’s distracted driving law. However, you can still be charged with careless or dangerous driving.


In a nutshell, you cannot touch any hand-held communication device, even a GPS. Don't argue with me about the radio buttons. If you got caught with a hand-held device, even a GPS, you fxxk dead. You might get a chance with a lawyer's help if your device is mounted on the dashboard.
