운전 중 핸드폰을 사용하면

 

 
온타리오 정부는 운전 중 핸드폰 사용시 위험함을 인식하고
오랫동안 미루어 오던 것을
이제부터는 운전 중 핸드폰 및 기타 사용자는 영락없이 경찰에 의해 벌금 및 벌칙을
당할 것이라고 토론토 스타는 10월 28일자로 보도했습니다.
단, 핸드폰에 이어폰을 사용할 때는 괜찮다고 합니다.

Using hand-held electronic gadgets while driving would be against the law in ontario under legislation to be introduced today. Drivers caught emailing, texting or yapping on hand-held devices such as cellphones or BlackBerrys, or using hand-held global positioning systems would face fines and demerit points, a well-placed government source told the Star. However, drivers using cellphones with earpieces or Bluetooth devices to carry on conversations, or using a dashboard-mounted GPS would have nothing to fear under the bill developed over the past six months by Transportation Minister Jim Bradley.

"I won't say we are staying away from GPSs ... but as long as it is mounted to the car it will be allowed," the government source added. "Portable GPS, in the hands or in BlackBerrys, are covered under the ban."

 

Premier Dalton McGuinty previously was opposed to such a ban, saying it was difficult to draw the line between cellphones and other distractions, such as eating, and noting police already had dangerous driving laws in their arsenal. However, he changed his mind earlier this year.
