WATCH: PG RCMP say cell phones aren’t only cause of distracted driving

WATCH:

Prince George RCMP are reminding the public of the dangers of distracted driving.

Police are looking to intensify their enforcement in explaining what classifies as ‘distracted driving.’

“People, still, have not got the message. They’re still using cell phones while stopped at a red light, they’ve got dogs on their laps, they’ve got too much cargo in their passenger side, they’ve got kids, and other passengers in their vehicles that are distracting them.”

– RCMP Sergeant Matt LaBelle

Distracted driving tickets ring in at $368, plus four penalty points.
