No, I just think the time and effort spent enforcing this specifically at red lights, would be more appropriately spent actually trying to catch the higher risk offenders. AKA those ACTUALLY DRIVING not stopped at a red light.
| IMO those people who aren't observant enough to notice a police officer near them at a light are high risk offenders, if they don't notice that just how much are they not paying attention to when they're driving? Quote:

Maybe you guys are right, maybe it drills the message into people's heads, but like I said earlier if people are anything like me, they will notice enforcement around burnaby, downtown, and north and west van is all at red lights, I can almost freely roll down highway 1 texting away with no problems, or atleast thats my perception. So my thought process is totally that those who were checking their phones at red lights, or doing both, will just continue to text while actually driving, at a higher rate than before because enforcement is not yet targeting that risk.
If that makes sense...
| Most drivers are way, way too stupid to make that connection. Also, exactly HOW are they supposed to target people using them while driving down the highway? It's much more dangerous but also harder to detect until it's too late. |
