Police are beginning a nationwide campaign today that will run through Sunday to fine motorists who hold mobile phones in their hands to talk, write, or otherwise use them while driving. Police may also fine drivers for eating and drinking while driving.
This campaign coincides with another national campaign urging drivers – in a version translated from Danish – to “drive while driving,” referring to not being distracted from driving or having one’s mind diverted by anything else while driving.
According to a 2019 study, 7.8% of all passenger car and truck drivers commit what is called a distraction act while driving, such as talking on the phone, setting up the GPS, eating, drinking, or the like.
