I would just like to remind those of you behind the wheel to put your phones down. This is just a reminder of reality and what can really happen when you pick up your phone behind the wheel.

This is why I'm glad we have the No Handheld Device law in Ontario.

 

When driving I find it so important to focus on the road and even when playing a game like Forza, I can't look away to check my cell phone.

This can happen as well: "Grim Reminder" to put your phone down while behind the wheel

 

This incident happened just yesterday in Edmonton.

Long story short, this woman posted on Facebook saying a song on the radio made her happy at 8:33 PM, and at 8:34 PM the call came in about the accident.

 

“As sad as it is, it is a grim reminder for everyone… you just have to pay attention while you are in the car,”

That incident did not happen in Edmonton, the one you linked is the same one as the OP linked. Same person, same state, not in Canada. 

 

 

As far as the incident, it's said and it is good to see how serious texting and driving is taken now-a-days. Where I live, texting behind the wheel is taken as seriously as DUI in terms of the campaigns they run to try and prevent it. I believe now as well there are several incidents where those found texting when an accident occurs have been charged.

That's good that they are starting to put a firm foot down if it is taken as seriously as a DUI. In other places I believe it should still have greater punishments.

My bad :P

 

 

I just don't see why your text, or even call for that matter, can't wait until you come to a stop light.

 

As for the stop light point, around here I've heard that they're getting stricter with Distracted Driving and you will still receive a ticket even if you're at a stop light.

Least she just killed herself, it more horrible with they kill other people and they live. But really how hard is it to NOT TOUCH THE PHONE. I dont talk on the phone while driving, even though I can, I still pull over to the side of the road.
