 |  Changing the Radio Channel In Your Car Earns You a $500 Fine in Ontario, CAN To cut down on accidents caused by drivers who aren't paying attention, in Ontario it is now a ticketable offense to text, email, or navigate with your GPS while driving. But it seems to me that they have thrown the baby out with the bathwater, because it is now also a $500 fine to change your radio station, change songs on your MP3 player, or even drink your morning coffee. It can also be enforced to the point where changing the climate controls on your dash can get you fined because it requires you to take your hands off the wheel.Though this was a good idea, it seems to have been taken a little too far. http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/09/...-Cars?from=rss
