How harsh are the penalties for using your phone while driving over there?

It's a ticketable offense in most states, but that's usually it, so just a fine or a day in court if you want to try to fight the ticket.

Cops do not give a flying fuck about people using their phones while driving. They're too busy looking at the actual fucking laptops they have in their cars.

Or they're looking at their phones, too. I'm a school bus driver and a couple of years ago I had a cop pass me doing 45 mph while I had my flashing red lights and stop sign on. He nearly hit kids that were crossing and when I looked down at him I saw him with one hand on his steering wheel and the other holding his phone.

speaking of laptops, what are the penalties for using one while driving?

How harsh are the penalties for using your phone while driving over there?

Very very light.

  1. What is the fine for distracted driving? The fine is $172 for this offence. This amount includes a fine of $150 plus the 15 percent victims' surcharge. This fine is in keeping with the fines for other traffic violations.
  2. Are there demerit points for this offence? No. It is felt that the dollar fine will encourage drivers to focus on driving. Drivers that exhibit what is deemed to be more serious or risky behaviors could be charged with 'driving carelessly' under the Traffic Safety Act. The penalty for the existing 'driving carelessly' offence carries six demerit points and a fine of $402. If a driver does commit a moving violation while engaged in one of these activities, or any other deemed as a distraction, they could receive two tickets - one for distracted driving, and one for the moving violation.

Demerit points
