Thinking of picking up that smartphone to update your Facebook status while you’re driving down the road? You should really rethink that and a whole bunch of other things that you might do while driving your car if you live in Ontario. A new law was passed yesterday that could nail drivers who text while behind the wheel with maximum fine of up to $1,000 and three demerit points. The latter affects what you pay when you go to renew your auto insurance, so that can really hurt. If you want more info about the law, check out the Ministry Of Transportation’s website here. This is easily one of the toughest laws of its type on the planet, and it should make you think twice about using your smartphone while driving.
