Hey guys!
Just lately the government in my country (The Netherlands) decided it's illegal to drive with an Apple Watch (or any smart watch, for that matter). They call it an extra distraction and don't see any distinction between a smart phone or any other electronic device that lets you make phone calls. You can get fined up to €250 for doing so. A total bummer, that's one of the features I'd probably use most since I'm on the road quite a lot. Also, universities throughout the country are banning smart watches since it's easy to cheat on tests when wearing one.
So I was just wondering: How does this go in the country you're from? Does the government also come up with regulations and stuff? Since this is quite an international environment it'd be cool to hear your experiences!
