维多利亚长周末来临之际，安省警方OPP宣布，将进一步打击分心驾驶，以减少伤亡人数，着重处罚司机开车时化妆、玩手机、发短信、吃东西。

长周末外出的各位小伙伴们可要注意了！！！

What counts as distracted drivingOntario’s distracted driving laws apply to the use of hand-held communication/entertainment devices and certain display screens.
While you are driving, including when you are stopped in traffic or at a red light, it is illegal to:
use a phone or other hand-held wireless communication device to text or dial – you can only touch a device to call 911 in an emergency
use a hand-held electronic entertainment device, such as a tablet or portable gaming console
view display screens unrelated to driving, such as watching a video
program a GPS device, except by voice commands
You are allowed to use hands-free wireless communications devices with an earpiece, lapel button or Bluetooth. You can view GPS display screens as long as they are built into your vehicle’s dashboard or securely mounted on the dashboard.
Other actions such as eating, drinking, grooming, smoking, reading and reaching for objects are not part of Ontario’s distracted driving law. However, you can still be charged with careless or dangerous driving.

In fact, simply holding a phone or other device while driving is against the law.
You can use:
a hands-free device (e.g. Bluetooth) but only to turn it on and off
a mounted device (e.g. phone, GPS) as long as it is secure – not moving around while driving
If convicted, the penalty you face depends on the kind of licence you hold and how long you’ve been driving.

Drivers with A to G licences

If you have an A, B, C, D, E, F, G and/or M licence, you’ll face bigger penalties when convicted of distracted driving:

    First conviction:
        a fine of $615, if settled out of court (includes a victim surcharge and the court fee)
        a fine of up to $1,000 if a summons is received or if you fight the ticket in court and lose
        three demerit points
        3-day suspension
    Second conviction
        a fine of $615, if settled out of court (includes a victim surcharge and the court fee)
        a fine of up to $2,000 if a summons is received or if you fight the ticket in court and lose
        six demerit points
        7-day suspension
    Third and any further conviction(s)
        a fine of $615, if settled out of court (includes a victim surcharge and the court fee)
        a fine of up to $3,000 if a summons is received or if you fight the ticket in court and lose
        six demerit points
        30-day suspension

对于持A至G驾照的司机

1) 首次被抓
如果庭外和解，除受害者费用和法庭费用之外，罚款$615
如果收到传票上庭或者您在法庭上打官司失败，罚款可能高达$1,000
扣3个点(Three demerit points)
停牌3天(Suspension)
2) 第二次被抓
如果庭外和解，除受害者费用和法庭费用之外，罚款$615
如果收到传票上庭或者您在法庭上打官司失败，罚款可能高达$2,000
扣6个点
停牌7天
3) 第三次或更多次被抓
如果庭外和解，除受害者费用和法庭费用之外，罚款$615
如果收到传票上庭或者您在法庭上打官司失败，罚款可能高达$3,000
扣6个点
停牌30天

Novice drivers

If you hold a G1, G2, M1 or M2 licence, and are convicted of distracted driving, you’ll face the same fines as drivers with A to G licences. But you won’t receive any demerit points.

Instead of demerit points you’ll face longer suspensions:

    a 30-day licence suspension for a first conviction
    a 90-day licence suspension for a second conviction
    cancellation of your licence and removal from the Graduated Licensing System (GLS) for a third conviction
    to get your licence back you’d have to redo the GLS program

下如中英文有不同，以政府的英语为准。

对于持G1、G2、M1、M2的新司机：

在分心驾驶被抓时会面临与老司机同样的罚款，但不会被扣点，取而代之的是更长时间的停牌。

第一次被抓停牌30天。

第二次被抓停牌90天。

第三次被抓时就会取消驾照，需要从零开始，重新参加驾校学习(Graduated Licensing System)再考取驾照。

Mike教练提醒大家，不像很多中文媒体互相转发的那样，开车时吃喝抽烟都违法。

省政府的网站上说的很清楚：这些行为本身不是违法的，就是说吃喝抽烟等行为和“手握手机”‘酒后驾驶’不一样，这些吃喝和抽烟的行为本身不一定违法。

但是如果吃喝抽烟影响了安全驾驶，那样警方可以以‘Careless Driving’起诉，Careless Driving 扣6分，那比Distracted Driving 分心驾驶更严重~!

首先要说的是，分心驾驶是一个概念，行车路上司机应该专注驾驶（DRIVE WITH DUE CARE）才能有效观察道路信息，经过大脑处理，再进行正确的驾驶操作。任何影响司机专注驾驶的行为均为分心驾驶，包括喝咖啡呀，吃东西，化妆啊等等。不过这些分心驾驶的行为一直没有进入交通法规的议事日程，直到手机慢慢普及，尤其是智慧手机开始进入人们的日常生活，人们才开始谈论这类分心驾驶。

实际情况是，分心驾驶造成的严重后果与日俱增。在2016年，分心驾驶已经成为了第一位的马路杀手，现在依然如此。因此安省的道路交通法在2018年讨论并通过了更为严厉的处罚，并于2019年1月1日开始实施，处罚不是目的，而是希望用更大的力度来迫使大家养成良好的驾驶习惯，改掉这些年养成的不好的习惯。

那么到底什么是分心驾驶呢？

从概念上来说，如果你开车的时候眼睛不看路面，或双手离开方向盘，或心思不在驾驶上，这都算是分心驾驶。但是从安省道路交通法上来说，只有少数行为被单列出来惊醒处罚。如驾驶中使用手机或其他影音娱乐设备，或者有显示屏影响司机（比如副驾上乘客使用iPAD看录像能让司机看到）。

至于其他分心驾驶的行为，例如喝咖啡，吃东西等，在安省道路交通法中，并未单独列出条例进行处罚，也就是说只是喝咖啡并不会受罚。但一旦发生车祸，如果有证据表明司机是因为各种分心驾驶行为而导致，那么司机则可能面临粗心驾驶（CARELESS DRIVING）的指控。如果造成了非常严重的事故，则有可能面临刑事指控“危险驾驶”(DANGEROUS DRIVING)，最高可判刑14年。

给大家几个避没镏心驾驶行为的建议：

在上车准备开车前，先设置好蓝牙设备，以确保驾驶过程中不需要过多分心去用手操作，或在开车前先录好语音说明，说明在驾驶中不方便接听来电，并在驾驶期间将电话转到留言信箱。如果需要导航，不管是专门的GPS还是手机地图，要先设定好目的地信息并固定在支架上再开车，如果中途需要改变方向，请找到安全的地方靠边停下后再进行操作。或者干脆关机，或将手机放在自己够不着的地方，帮助自己尽快养成开车不用手机的习惯。没有什么事情比安全回家更重要！

李小波警官最後补充说明：安省道路交通法中涉及分心驾驶条款只适用于道路（HIGHWAY）上。开车购物通道（DRIVE-THRU）都是在私有物业（PRIVATE PROPERTY）上，所以通过DRIVE-THRU买东西时，不用担心会接到罚单。
