The Department for Transport in the U.K. is seriously considering a ban on Google Glass for all drivers, arguing that it represents a distraction on the road.
“We are aware of the impending rollout of Google Glass and are in discussion with the Police to ensure that individuals do not use this technology while driving. It is important that drivers give their full attention to the road when they are behind the wheel and do not behave in a way that stops them from observing what is happening on the road,” a Department for Transport spokesperson said.
The British government plans to slap offenders with a £60 ($95) fine and three demerit points, which is comparable to using a cell phone while driving.
