Hah! That's a VERY toned down version than what was released locally.

"Eating, adjusting the radio, searching for something in the car and doing makeup all fall under the police definition of distracted driving."

"Burrows said police now have the challenging task of breaking those habits and making distracted driving as socially unacceptable as impaired driving."

"...Police don't keep track of the number of tickets issued to people caught eating while driving because "it isn't a described offence," Burrows said."

"...distracted driving can net a careless driving charge with fines ranging from $400 to $2,000, a possible licence suspension of up to two years and/or a jail term of up to six months."
