Outrageous! That’s a stupid fine just for buttering a bagel, wtf

He was steering with his knees, so both hands off the wheel, in busy traffic, and undoubtedly not paying full attention to the road, for who knows what period of time. Even at low speed, he's gonna rear-end someone eventually.

The fine for using a phone is 4 demerit points, so loss of licence for a P-plater, and $1295. This is much more dangerous. He got off lightly, imo.
