    In Canada our distracted driving laws are pretty harsh and they do actually enforce them. Insurance is also mandatory and a distracted driving ticket is very expensive for a couple of years.

        Florida doesn’t mandate insurance. There’s probably a few other shitholeRepublican states that are similar and I’m just not aware.

          It’s very much mandatory. You’re correct that the US does some bullshit, but that isn’t part of it.

          There’s plenty of low hanging fruit. You don’t need to come up with lies in order to punch down.

      Where in Canada are police doing their jobs? Not in Ontario.

      Insurance is mandatory…but many are driving without it as some idiot in Ontario got rid of visible licence validation in 2018.

        I have seen it in Ontario and Quebec. They do it with seatbelt check campaigns. I have never seen it in Toronto though but in Toronto I don’t think you can even get pulled over for a moving violation anyways, unless you are speeding exceptionally fast.
