Texting And Driving Defense

Caught Texting And Driving?

If you are caught using a hand-held wireless phone while you are driving, you can receive a ticket for texting and driving or for distracted driving. This type of charge goes on your driving record and is reported to your insurance carrier.

Rather than just pay your fine for a texting and driving ticket, you might wish to consult with an expert in cellphone tickets in Los Angeles beforehand to see if you can have the charges dismissed.

An attorney can help to build a defense in your case. While it is against the law to talk on a cellphone or text while you are driving, it is not against the law to dial the phone or talk on a hands-free device or use your speakerphone option. Additionally, if you have a smartphone, you are allowed to use your GPS or some other features that may be included on your phone.

What Are The Penalties For Texting And Driving?

Currently, you only face the payment of a fine if you are caught talking on your phone while you are driving. Typically, the fine is about $150 for the first offense and about $250 for each subsequent offense.

So far, you will not receive any additional penalties for this type of safety violation. However, the legislature is trying to pass a law that will add a point to your driver’s license if you have a second or additional cellphone violation. This makes it especially important to discuss the matter with an expert in cellphone tickets in Los Angeles, whether you are facing your first or your fifth cellphone violation.
