BC’s Ministry of Justice has launched a new website to help tackle distracted driving.
It is called engage.gov.bc.ca/distracteddriving.
The province is collecting comments from residents on whether or not the current fine of 167-dollars and three penalty points is severe enough.
BC’s $167 distracted driving fine is 2nd lowest in Canada, compared to $579 in Nova Scotia and up to $1,000 in Ontario
A four week consultation began today and runs until July 16th.
