    My friend got a ticket in Park City UT. For holding his cell phone while driving. What is the penalty for the first time ? He also got 1 for careless driving, cause the officer said his wheels hit the rumble strips twice. Anyone know what these carry? He's worried he's going to lose job and or license. thanks for any info.

    if he got a careless for hitting the rumble strips, then I should be in prison! Cause When I'm eating a sandwich or scratching my balls, I tend to drift and hit the strips ALL THE TIME!
    Sounds like a rookie trying to make a name by generating some revenue for the church.

    just another moron driver giving us a bad name
    i can hear on my headset better then on the phone anyway
    I hope he does lose his job yes I am serious
    He was probably driving with one hand in the construction in Wanship too
    I wear my seatbelt too not because I agree with the goverment
    but so they leave me alone to do my job
    all the heros with headsets will be first to complain when the company goes to no cell phone use while driving
    oh btw fine is $2500 to the driver $10000 to the company
