General Road and Highway Discussion

Without checking, based on your observations of other drivers, how many distracted driving charges would you estimate WRPS laid on average in 2019-2020?

Not enough, as there are still plenty of people driving with eyes on their cell phones, especially females and construction dudes in their pick-up trucks.

I know of a handful of people (all girls, actually) that have been charged with distracted driving. However, they were all stopped at stop signs or red lights. So while I get why they were charged, technically, in a stopped vehicle, you're at a very low risk of causing an accident. The one was charged for looking at her Apple Watch (because she was scrolling the watch).

So without looking, maybe 2-3,000.
