According to chinanews. com, in recent years, with the increase of intelligent on-board devices, drivers' "distracted driving" behaviors such as answering and making handsets, operating mobile phone navigation and causing traffic accidents are gradually increasing. This year, Beijing traffic control authorities will intensify the punishment and rectification of "distracted driving" in combination with off-site law enforcement and "casual shooting" and other measures.

According to the regulations for the implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of China, when driving a motor vehicle, it is not allowed to make calls to answer handsets, watch TV and other behaviors that hinder safe driving. Violators will be fined 200 yuan in accordance with the law, and their driving licenses will be deducted 3 points. Many drivers also know the danger of "distracted driving", but in reality, "distracted driving" has always been difficult to manage. On the one hand, this is due to the fluke mentality of quite a number of drivers, who feel that it is OK for their eyes and brains to "skip" for a second or two while driving. The warning videos of real cases are even shown to others. On the other hand, "distracted driving" is relatively hidden, and it is not easy to supervise, and there are always difficulties in remote monitoring of road cameras, "casual shooting" and other monitoring tentacles. In the face of practical difficulties, we should continue to enrich supervision methods and strengthen law enforcement means, so that the principle of "driving without distraction, and driving without distraction" can truly enter our minds, and let everyone have more respect for traffic safety.
