Yet I suspect a $132,000 fine might make some people think about putting it in neutral before scrolling through the MFD to find a fault alarm.
At the end of the day, it was that one indecision to not throttle back that led to the ferry skipper being paralyised.
Note I understood he was flicking through screens on the MFD rather than his phone, but the analogy of drivers on their phone is exactly the same.
