Should Distracted Driving Have Higher Punishments?

People in Ontario are really freaked out over this ad and are demanding new measures for "distracted drivers". Does Sup Forums agree?

Rare flag

Explain how my flag is rare.

No. It's the new Darwinism.

The ad they play in Iowa is one were a wife is in the hospital about to give birth and her husband is texting her while driving to the hospital and the husband crashes and dies

Yeah but the people don't die they just go to a hospital for 50+ years using even more tax money. Like in this ad the kid doesn't die.

this right here the "uneducated" killing themselves off is natural unfortunately they manage to kill some innocents in the process

If you watch the ad tho you will realize the kid doesn't die. He will probably drain MILLIONS in heathcare money by the time he dies (of old age or what-not)

Same kinda thing, except at least that ad appeals to as some of the anons in the thread said, the "survival of the fittest".

Well, kindly end their suffering. What kind of "quality of life" is that?
Just take a suicide slurpee and get it over with.
Even educated people can be stupid.

>Well, kindly end their suffering. What kind of "quality of life" is that?
That's illegal though

>Just take a suicide slurpee and get it over with.
The government would never allow that.

>looking at phone through an intersection
i've ridden a bus and seen literally a third or more of people looking at their phones on the freeway, and i still don't think it's really a big deal. vast majority of those accidents are just one retard rear ending another for like $500-$2000 of damage. on the other hand if someone is that careless with access to a phone, literally anything from a billboard to a nose itch will distract them enough to cause the same sorts of accidents.

i don't know what your laws are now but i sincerely doubt changing them will mean anything to people. getting a drivers license should just become a lot harder.

I can't believe Egoraptor is paralyzed now

Haha finally someone knew that was Egrorapter.

How come accidents have risen 28% since cell-phones became more common

a million and a half other distinct things have happened in that time.

and you're assuming i don't think cell phones increase how much distraction there is. i'm saying people themselves don't change just because they have a cell phone.

That's why you increase the punishments.

Way too many clowns behind the wheel. Driving regulations need to be enforced more. Idiots that blow red lights or speed through side streets should be pulled from their vehicles, beaten, then supplied with a bus ticket. Their driving days will be over. Distracted drivers same thing.

Drunk drivers should be flayed alive, dipped in a pool of sea salt and then raped by a bunch of niggers before being thrown into a ditch.

>"distracted drivers"

There are basically three types of drivers that cause accidents:

distracted drivers(including intoxicated drivers)
reckless drivers(pay attention but do illegal shit like speeding anyway)
inexperienced drivers(pay attention, follow the rules but can't read the traffic and cause an accident)

I'm too lazy to search for it, but I'm 99% sure that distracted drivers are by far the great majority of accidents and the legislation is made around them.

to what end? your logic also applies to punishing teenagers, men, and asians harder because they cause more accidents.

if you just want more money, raise taxes on owning cars in general it works much better. you're not going to deter anything with some punishment on "distraction" any more than you do with drunk driving, which is effectively nothing.

you can meet me halfway and make people purchase an annual exam that is hard as fuck in order to keep driving legally.
