Talking On Cellphone New Fine

by: goldom1234 on

Hey All,


I have a question. I was driving recently and was caught and charged under the distracted driving law as someone called me. It mentions I have 15 days to pay but I want to consider my options. I also read in the newspaper that the set fine of $155 will be going up March 18th.


Would this apply to me if I pay after March 18 or only to those caught after this date? Thanks a lot everyone for your reply.

They will show up.


The set fine with surcharges for anyone charged before March 18 is $155. If a driver challenges the ticket in court, a judge has the discretion to adjust the fine anywhere in the range of $60 to $500.
