Had the offense occurred in Queensland, she would have been fined $1000.
I was fairly well shocked, since the penalty for doing that here is just $80 and 20 points. But it got me curious. What are the distracted driving restrictions and penalties where you live, and do you think they should be more or less severe?

Around these isles, you get a clip in your drivers licence and a fine for holding a phone/ice cream/your dick in your other hand while driving. I just think the fine should be higher, personally.
