Ar­rive Alive pres­i­dent Sharon In­gle­field says that while dis­tract­ed dri­ving re­mains a con­cern, re­duc­ing speed lim­its should take prece­dence over in­tro­duc­ing new reg­u­la­tions on mo­bile and wind­screen-mount­ed de­vices.

In­gle­field was re­spond­ing to Trans­port Min­is­ter Eli Za­k­our’s state­ment in the Sen­ate on Tues­day, that his min­istry is mon­i­tor­ing the in­creas­ing use of mo­bile phones and dash­board-mount­ed screens to de­ter­mine whether ad­di­tion­al reg­u­la­tions are need­ed.

Ac­cord­ing to the min­is­ter, they are con­cerned that some dri­vers are en­gag­ing in video calls, record­ing footage, and live stream­ing while be­hind the wheel.
