It is all too clear to each of us that the use of telephones and, in this case, smartphones when we are driving is prohibited by law and, obviously, profoundly dangerous and wrong regardless.
This is a concept that can obviously be extended to all electronic appliances and various ‘devices’ as they are called, which can be used in everyday life by each of us.
There are contexts and contexts, however: and precisely, the driving position in a car, or in any other vehicle, provides for a categorical prohibition on using them, for reasons that are very clear to everyone.
Using them distracts us attention from driving and, literally, the gaze from the road: and we know that just a moment, a fraction of a second is enough for loses everything, a start from the most precious asset.
Our life depends on how we drive, and just like ours, that of other people too, whether they are on board or on the road or in other vehicles. But the use of ‘devices‘ is not prohibited only in this precise perspective. On the contrary.
Chats are off limits if you’re driving, here’s why
Nowadays, rather than making telephone calls, we communicate via cell phones chat and instant messaging: text or audio, video or other files follow us wherever we go, and chatting is part of our daily life. But not on board the car: especially if this ends up representing a double error, a double jeopardy. That is, use messaging programs and distract yourself and risk it twice.
On the one hand, in fact, to read the message, you lose concentration and vision of the road: on the other hand, maybe you are reading something illicit that is aimed at a further violation of the Highway Code. What? We are talking about the famous group chats that indicate, signal the presence of checkpoints or speed cameras along the territory we are covering.
The chat era costs you over three thousand euros in fines
Entering such chats may mean risking violating the law, when the principle ofarticle 45 of the Code from the Street which provides for sanctions between 825 and 3305 euros, therefore over three thousand euros, for having reported or used indications to report the presence of devices for ielectronic speed control driving vehicles or various checkpoints.
It’s a bit like i flashing used to report patrols on the street: you can’t do it e.gand they catch you, they fine you.
