Increase active enforcement; make penalties more severe; and treat repeat offenses like DUI.
It's not the place of the government to put limits like these on devices just because they want to avoid having to commit to behavioral change through enforcement and penalty.

I mean... That kind of _is_ half of their jobs, isn't it? Dictionary definition of the word "regulation": Rules made by a government or other authority in _order to control the way something is done_ or the way people behave. Note: Not that I necessarily agree with a gps based speed limit facility. My car displays posted speed limits on the dashboard, and it frequently shows the wrong one, from a nearby surface road or who knows what -- a nice feature but more than occasionally wrong. I do think things like top speed governors make sense though (eg. no need for street legal vehicles to go over 100mph public roads instance).
- Volundr 3y agoWhile I'm not supporting the proposal it's pretty unclear to me why it's the governments role to: > Increase active enforcement; make penalties more severe; and treat repeat offenses like DUI. But not limit these "devices". In general I find interference with my person MORE invasive than interference with the capacity of my devices.
