And if the joggers suddenly can't listen to Spotify or similar while running, well, if I were the human that created this software that shut down their apps, I'd certainly make sure I was able to run faster than them for a sustained distance.... |

I'm talking about driving, which has a completely different physics than running, and with today's technology we can easily tell the difference. |

Funny, I said the exact same thing when I read your original post. Eerie.
To which are you referring (technology) that is in the smartphone standard? I'm not a technological guru, so consider me unaware. |

Pretty sure there can be a number of ways to go around this. Ones I can think of on top of my head right now: 1.) monitor speed fluctuations for 30-60 seconds before the software turns on to recognize you are in a vehicle. 2.) raise the speed limit to 10mph... 3.) encode an on/off button (although this would potentially defeat the purpose since people would forget to turn it on or just ignore it) 4.) Recognize a bluetooth connection to the vehicle only (since you can use bluetooth headphones and such for running), and turn on application. Just showing you there can be many ways around the problem, just got to be willing to solve it and put in an effort. |

I guess my point is that I believe the technology exists to disable visual-heavy apps while driving a car. I can understand talking on the phone, or using a GPS that gives you audible alerts, but using something that requires you to look down to use, while you are driving a car is just stupidity. People just aren't that brilliant, they are going to use it, and cause accidents.

I don't see it as a huge problem though. I think instead of trying to further a nanny state that we all start taking some responsibility for our own actions instead of blaming whatever we did on something else / a manufacturer. That won't happen though. Or at least I see it as a low probability. |

"$1000 fine for littering". How many of these citations have you written?
I don't even know of anyone rumored to have been cited

I've cited for CVC 23111 (..tossing a lit cigarette, cigar or other lighted artifact out of a vehicle onto a public road, or committing that same act as a pedestrian), and a few similar fines. Is that what you're referring to?

We have a seldom used offence in Ontario under the Environmental Protection Act that forbids any person from abandoning any material likely to become litter. It's a beauty because it isn't limited to public space like the litter highway offence. I used it a few times to correct poor attitudes.
