1 Answers
Using a phone while driving will result in a deduction of 2 points. Traffic Regulations: According to Article 62 of the Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers are prohibited from engaging in behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as making or answering handheld phone calls or watching TV. Violations will result in a deduction of 2 points and a fine. Using a phone while driving is considered an act that hinders safe driving, with consequences equivalent to making phone calls. Distraction: Using a phone while driving diverts the driver's attention. When a driver uses a phone, at least half of their focus shifts to the phone, inevitably leading to neglect in observing surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. In the event of an emergency, this significantly reduces the driver's ability to respond and reaction time, potentially causing traffic accidents.
