Drivers Glued to Phones Behind Wheel

from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Ontario cops are sounding the alarm as drivers get dangerously distracted by phones and laptops behind the wheel—especially on Highway 417, where one guy literally didn’t notice a police car beside him. This isn’t new; they’ve caught dozens scrolling through traffic jams, even near construction zones. The penalty? A $615 fine, 3 demerit points, and a 3-day license suspension. Stats show distracted driving makes accidents four times more likely—and someone gets hurt every 30 minutes in Ontario. Bottom line: put the device down. Your life and others’ depend on it.
