I understand your point, and agree. Though, with so many laws on the books... can we go back to a more simple time when common sense prevailed? Like, when texting in your car wasn't an idea (for example).

I've been corresponding with various officials in Provincial government about this very issue, for some months now, because some representatives are trying to push through a whole shit-load of nanny laws that add needless complexity to our Highway Traffic Act. Where things like texting are involved we already have a law that covers it quite adequately. It's called, "Operation of a vehicle without due care and attention" (what you would refer to as 'careless driving'). Nothing more than enforcement of this law is needed, in order to correct this issue.

Instead they want to pass specific laws that cover the use of electronic devices, like Blackberry and GPS, in cars. What about the people who juggle a cup of coffee, newspaper, and cigarette while driving? Should we also pass a specific law to cover that? No because, as I said, that one law takes all into account.
