Cell Phone fine?

You have that right. Headed to a real emergency with lights and siren going and the other driver coming to the stop sign was turned around talking to the kid and almost ran the stop in front of us.

 

The dead end is the inability to recognize the difference between those two scenarios.

If, for instance... you do not see the risk in using cellphones while driving... there's really nothing I can say to dissuade your mind or convince you otherwise.

I see and have seen the consequences of using a cellphone behind the wheel... I don't need convincing.

 

I see pa state police driving down the road on their cell phones all the time but I guess that's fine!

 

It cost a friend of mine $500.00 in Florida

 

Correct, florida first time offense

Is this for commercial driver.

 

Yes truck drivers

 

Because truck drivers can be fined 2750.00 and the company fined 11,000 under the fmcsa regs.

 

Correct, that is the maximum.

 

I got a ticket 5 days ago for looking at the gps on my phone ($500 for using cellphone). The officer told me that he knew i wasn't talking or texting, he can still write it for any electronic device...
The law says voice communication. So what should I do? Who is right?
