Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…

Drive - handheld communication device
hello, just a quick question.
Is this considered a minor offence or major?
I have tried to google and can only find articles about the fine increase and they say "distracted driving" is a minor offence.
Clarification would be helpful.
Thank you, and I apologize if this is the wrong section. It carries no demerit points at this time and I could not see a no demerit section.

The increased fines and points start in the Fall, though I wouldn't be surprised that at some later date offenders were also subject to being tarred and feathered.
From an insurance perspective, it is considered a minor offence.

Go to page 12, it's generally classified as a minor conviction.
They're also adding S78.1 to one of the novice class escalating sanctions.
1st conviction = 30 day license suspension
2nd conviction = 90 day license suspeions
3rd conviction = license cancelled, re-apply for G1/M1

If distracted driving is killing more drivers than impaired driving; its days in the minor category status are numbered.
