- I was just checking the time
- Well check this ticket out
Joking aside. You have in your hand a device that is designed to be addictive, you have spent years nurturing that addiction, in fact society praises you for using the device. If you use it you get a ticket.
Yes I think it is super annoying when people are not looking where they are going, it can even be dangerous, but this rule does not solve the problem.
I think even a just in time reminder is more effective. We have these traffic lights that have audio:
"Please put away your phone while crossing"
- mercer 9y agoHow does fining people for looking at their phone while crossing the street not effectively curb that behavior? Regardless of whether it's addictive or not. Smoking bans, seat belt laws, etc. all seem to work pretty well despite the fact that many people really don't like these things.
