Cell Phone Tickets $124 Today

Item: Hands off the cell; tickets are $124: Beginning today, if you are seen by police using your cell phone without a hands-free device while you drive you can be issued a ticket /Spokesman-Review

More Info: For two years, talking or text messaging on a cell phone while driving has been illegal in Washington, but not enough to warrant a stop by police unless another crime or violation was suspected.
