Cell Phone Ban!
By Marla Jensen | January 2, 2010
New law prohibits using cell phones while driving
On January 1, 2010, changes to the Motor Vehicle Act make it illegal to use handheld devices, including cell phones, while driving.
A driver caught talking on a hand-held phone or electronic device will be fined $167.
A drive caught texting or emailing will be subject to three penalty points.
Drivers will be permitted to use only hands-free cellphones and devices that require only one touch to activate.
For new drivers in the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP), there will be a full ban on all cellphone and electronic devices, including hands-free.
