Using any kind of electronic device means that you aren't paying attention to what's happening around you, which is dangerous, and is also common sense.
All of these things are included in the book you were supposed to study before attempting to get your license, how that knowledge has escaped you is anyone's guess.

I think OPs question is legit. In my opinion, you can get a DUI while sleeping in the back seat of the car. So what defines driving/operating a vehicle? When you're sleeping in the back of the seat and the keys are out of reach how does that justify a DUI, yet you hear about these cases. Now I haven't read the drivers book in a while, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't tell you that you can't sleep in a car while you're intoxicated. Now the electronic ban law was implemented a few years ago, but i do feel like many drivers aren't aware that reading their phones during a stop light is illegal. Let's face it, all you guys on RS claim to be the best drivers in all of Canada. OP came in here to ask a legit question and gets berated
