Distracted-walking laws go a step too far
KAMLOOPS — Higher fines for distracted driving are now in effect, and the B.C. government announced this week that the next step will be higher auto insurance premiums.
In addition to penalty points and fines, those collecting distracted driving tickets will have to pay a special premium that could add as much as $2,000 to their bill.
I’m all for it. There are still way too many yahoos out there texting as they barrel along in their two-ton death machines.
