'To be clear, the law permits a phone to be loose in the vehicle. It also permits passive use such as charging the phone without holding or touching it.'
A Vancouver lawyer is taking issue with an informational video shared on social media by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia .
Lee explains that as a result of this misinformation, officers have been routinely issuing tickets to drivers for having a phone loose in the vehicle. "We asked for a reported judgment to try to make the law clear as a bell," says Lee. "To my dismay, the misinformation about what is and is not legal with a cell phone continues."
Lee asserts that the confusion created for members of the public and police officers enforcing the law leads to more unlawful tickets being issued and has put the insurance agency on blast through social media. The webpage breaks down fines for distracted driving and offers tips on how to use a cellphone while on the road. It reads: "anything that takes your attention away from driving, like chatting with passengers, eating or drinking, or adjusting radio or vehicle settings, can contribute to distracted and inattentive driving."
