Editor: Re: the distracted driving story (The Times, Nov. 26).
The police hand out 158 tickets in two hours, with most for distracted driving. Leanne Cassap from ICBC advises us that “driving is such a complex task that requires your full attention” and there is a reminder that “You are driving a 4,000-pound bomb.”
If that is correct, then why are emergency personnel exempt from the Motor Vehicle Act, Part 3.1 — Use of Electronic Devices while Driving. This applies even in non-emergency situations.
