They are all crimes. Set up your music before you go, or use voice command. Ignore the call with voice command or just let it go to voicemail. Lol. It's not hard.
This is a great of the strength of this system: this company will find its drivers and vehicles getting ticketed a lot, and they'll have to come up with a way to allow drivers to do their jobs without interacting with their phones will moving at high speeds.
The camera doesn't magically remove traffic enforcement humans from the road. They can still pull over the obviously drunk/erratic driver.
I am saying there is a difference between say looking at your phone and using your phone, both are crimes but both are not the same.
The companies just say "don't break the law" then give you shit if you don't update a ticket in 10 min (only can be done on a phone and the job requires driving 3 hours to the next place). They don't care if you get a ticket, it does not come off their bottom line.
They don't pull over people that are hard tickets, I see it way to often. They don't pull people over when someone calls saying they are drunk.
This is just another excuse for the police to do even less but still make quota, and on top of that you are trusting a system that can not figure out how many fingers a human has on average.
There isn't really a difference. Both are incredibly distracting and dangerous. It's why both are illegal.
