Ontario has stiffened fines and penalties for distracted driving, effective Jan. 1, making them among the toughest in Canada.
Each subsequent conviction carries a 30-day license suspension, a possible C$3,000 ($2,200) fine and six demerit points.
The Canadian Automobile Assn. says its research indicates that one-third of drivers in Ontario blame their distracted driving on the use of mobile devices. The province banned the use of handheld mobile devices by drivers nearly a decade ago and began three years ago to levy demerit points for convictions.
