RCMP Traffic Services is reminding the public of the dangerous that come with using a cell phone while driving.
RCMP say using a cell phone while driving is one of the biggest forms of distracted driving, and using a cell phone while driving places the driver and occupants within the vehicle at increased risk.
RCMP say they are actively enforcing violations and that a summary offence ticket for using a cell phone while driving can bring a minimum fine of $390 and four demerit points, for a first offence. Subsequent tickets can have fines as high as $1300.
