Default [RAC-Bulletin] RAC Bulletin 2012-023E - Distracted Driving in Ontario


RAC Bulletin 2012-023E - Distracted Driving in Ontario
2012-04-17

On April 16 the MTO posted a regulatory notice proposing a change to
Ontario Regulation # 366/09 (Display Screens and Hand-Held Devices)
that would Extend the current exemption for licenced amateur radio
operators for an additional five years.

As you know, the exemption was due to expire at the end of this
calendar year, and Radio Amateurs of Canada has been lobbying for a
permanent exemption since this regulation was introduced back in 2009.
We will be providing comments to the Road User Safety Branch of MTO on
this issue and will continue to press for a permanent exemption. That
said, a 5-year extension is certainly welcome at this point but is not
the ultimate resolution that we have been seeking.

The only other group to obtain an extension are commercial, public
transit, and public function drivers.

You can view the notice in the provincial registry at:

RAC and the Distracted Driving Committee wishes to thank all
organisations that supplied letters of support to assist us in
obtaining this extension. This shows the support we have from many
Ontario organisations.
