That is one of the worst things imo.
Send a text while at the lights, if you get an answer when the lights have changed you will look down at your phone.
Even a moments distraction can be fatal.

I didn't say "send a text" , even when sitting at a red traffic light you'd need two hands and a degree of concentration to do that. Lunacy.
All I meant was a split second to check a new text that had come in, to see the name. Doesn't even mean read it...check it.

You are a candidate for extrajudicial execution.

Years ago, my son’s friend was driving home from work, looked down to change a cassette and knocked down a girl on a zebra crossing.
Fortunately, he was going slow at the time and the girl was ok.

You need to concentrate momentarily to do that, and it’s not classed as illegal.
