Distracted drivers caught talking on hand-held communication devices, adjusting their GPS or watching DVDs will get three demerit points, starting Oct. 20, the province announced Wednesday.

The owner of Jock Shields Driving School welcomes the MTO introducing demerit points for drivers caught using electronic devices but worries that it won’t be enough to snuff out the risky behavior.

MPPs of all political stripes are calling on the government to tack demerit points on to the $155 fine introduced four years ago for using hand-held devices while driving.
