For the sake of representing a minority voice on this forum, I'll respond to this. I'm not here to change your mind and you're not going to change my mind.
Where I'm from if a person wants to operate a motor vehicle they are trained by their family and/or take classes before being certified to drive. Also where I live, the state only prohibits texting while driving and all television broadcasts must be played behind the driver. Of course this is a moot point but going around stating "ricers," are not trained is too vague and too easy to disprove because of its ambiguity.
I gave the above example of fighter planes, etc to illustrate that human beings
can do much more than what we are limited to or limit ourselves from. I admit that some have a much greater aptitude for this practice and it's not unreasonable to believe that there
could be plenty of people cable of operating advanced vehicles but don't know it or can't it express it.
Training can only exists after someone or some set of people pioneer whatever "it," should happen to be. Would you make the Wright brothers get some sort of aviation license before they took their first flight? Who trained them? Did they train others? If not, why do we have planes all across the world now? The point I'm trying to make is, training doesn't always exist and is not always necessary.
So what do we have? We have people who want to and who have modified their vehicles with technology for their own benefits. If this truly bothers you, make a video and post it on Youtube, contact your local media and expose this new danger on the road. Also why not demand the end of touch screen factory radio/navigation systems. Until then people will modify their vehicles. No one lives in a world that's exactly how they want it to be.
Since there seems to be no federal-like statues regarding driving in Canada, I found the Ontario version of the law you were describing. It seems that as long as it's not hand held, the law is not applicable. Mounting an iPad behind the dash should make operating this device legal.

I also found this website that tries to address the "operating a device while driving." Apparently conversations can be enough to get you into trouble in Canada. The laws seem so vague that you can be penalized for many different activities illustrated in this game.
