This week a truck driver in a rig was charged for smoking while driving. The law passed awhile ago banned smoking in the work place which also included vehicles. I haven't got any details as yet as to whether or not he was an employee in a company truck or a broker in a labeled truck or otherwise but this is going to be an interesting case. Yes the cab of a truck is considered a workplace and therefore if you read the law this means it qualifies under the smoking ban.
Yup another wonderful stupid law that some cop decided to enforce. So just watch out on the highways while in Ontario (as if we don't have enough to worry about).
The hands free electronic device law comes into effect this Oct 26 with a 3 month grace period for education. They also have given couriers and transport companies 2 years to replace current radio systems like the mike and 10-4 systems and the older type radios to a hands free system. Most larger carriers already utilize the qualcomm and such but there are hundreds of others using the others, so a real change in communications is going to happen in the transport business in Ontario.
