They might have killed someone while racing. That's what the argument for seizure is focusing on, the fact that their actions were dangerous and might have hurt someone. Even though the truth was that no one was hurt in this situation.
Absolute bullshit argument. What is this, Minority Report? If I'm at the ballpark swinging a bat am I guilty of a crime because if, in theory, I hit someone in the head I would kill them?
I forgot where i've read or heard this from, but apparently the faster you go the more concentrated and focused you are...
anyways the ferrari and m6 have nothing on this

Whatever. Fuck the government. Everything is so convoluted and everyone's just out to push their own agendas anyways. Who gives a fuck what they want to do, there's a way around everything. If the Ferarri owner really wanted to fuck around, he could've reported the car stolen.

Let's get rid of drunk driving laws too while we're at it.
My dad was an alcoholic (one of those functioning ones who kept a 9-5 business job, but drank on weekends). He drove drunk every weekend, often from the city to the farm. He never had an accident in 40 years, except for the couple of times he hit our fence or garbage cans coming home. I added it up and he probably was drunk behind the wheel over 6,000 times, had a perfect driving record and even qualified for the maximum insurance discount because of this.
Every single Friday and Saturday in The Lower Mainland literally thousands of people will drive home drunk. If you don't believe me, just hang out by any restaurant, pub or club at closing and see how many drive home. And statistically, 99.999% of them make it home without any incident at all.
So why are we cracking down on drunk drivers who might cause an accident? Likewise, why are we cracking down on cell phones and texting?

The argument is that the punishment doesn't fit the crime, not that the laws should be abolished.
Except the cell phone law, that one is completely ridiculous. Talking on your phone is no more dangerous than talking to someone else in the vehicle, changing the radio station, or eating. It's another babysitting law that caters to the lowest common denominator of shitty driver who can't do basic multitasking and probably shouldn't have gotten a drivers license in the first place.
I disagree, I think texting is one of the more dangerous things you can do. You have to stare at a small screen to see what people are saying, and the vast majority of the people cannot type a message without looking at their keypad.
Talking isn't dangerous, people do it all the time, but get a handsfree, they're dirt cheap.
Taking one hand to hold a phone to your ear is one thing, but to have to concentrate and type out a message is another. I see nothing wrong with that law.

Making a call while driving is hard. Receiving one isn't. The problem is there's no way to differentiate who is doing which unless you get pulled over, hence the new law that covers everything.

They should make a law stating that if you drive above XXX km/h, you lose your car and your license indefinitely. Maybe this is setting the precedent for that.

Well they're already taking your car for crimes never committed so I'd say we're not far off.

I agree with you. It probably is a low percentage of people who can't multitask, and shouldn't be around a phone while driving. But with that being said, I'm glad this law is around. It takes those people away from talking and driving.
Also, like it or not, talking on the phone IS a distraction. Ever try playing video games while your gf wants to have a phone convo? Two things usually occur when I am in that situation. 1) she will say something and a few minutes I say "umm what did you just say?" and 2) before I know it, 2 periods in a NHL11 game I've been playing have flown by, and I am unaware of the score, cause I'm not focusing my whole attention in the game either.
If you think about it, it's not that bad of a law.
One last thing, if a driver crashes into your car and he's talking on the phone, compared to a driver who isn't talking on the phone, who would you more likely want to beat the shit out of? Posted via RS Mobile

Bad analogy.
Along those lines, if you've been talking on the phone while driving, you may not remember details during your trip to where you are, but that doesn't mean you weren't able to get there in a safe manner.
didnt someone say that the new "no cellphone/texting rule" now causes more accidents than before?
because people are still texting while driving. but now, instead of doing it in the open, they have to hide it below, which takes their eyes off the road = higher chance of accidents.
i was sitting in a friends car once, and he texted with both hands while driving at 100km with his knuckles. scared the crap out of me LOL. but he texted in the open (holding the phone up at the wheel), which allowed him to atleast see the road at the same time.

Ya I heard that one too. Can't remember if it was a study for BC or another place that had outlawed it.
With your knuckles eh? I prefer driving with my knee.
"It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good ... They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time. "

rather than blaming the law, why didn't you just tell your friend to stop? If I had a friend in the car, I'd just ask them to text for me. There are specific duties that come with riding shotgun.

Bro, can't be having my gf in the seat next to me texting my mistress for me. Shit'll get me caught.
