This is the new maxim that we will have to anchor in our heads from now on. According to Road Safety, using a cell phone while driving is responsible for one in 10 injury accidents and increases the risk of an accident by three. The reason is the lack of vigilance of people behind the wheel, which also affects two wheels. Here are the new standards…
Let it be said: the license will now be retained in the event of an offense committed with the phone driving. Concretely, beyond the 72 hours of detention, the prefect may pronounce a license suspension of up to six months and even a year. The offenses concerned are, for example, failure to turn signals, crossing a solid line, excessive speed, refusal of priority to pedestrians or dangerous overtaking.

It will be recalled that Road Safety noted 55,8% fewer deaths in April, With the containment.
