People cause accidents whilst driving while chatting on their cell phones. Not far up the road from me a cyclist was killed while a young woman was texting a message to some-one.

People are fined when caught using a mobile phone and they also lose 3 demerit points. You lose demerit each time you get caught disobeying the road rules. Obtain more than 12 demerit points and you will lose your drivers licence.

A friend of mine got caught talking on her phone while driving and pushed her demerit points over 12. She lost the privilege of driving for 1 year.
