The new law taking effect in Illinois against distracted driving means motorists caught using their cellphones while driving will now face harsher penalties. The stricter distracted driving rules follow the decision of Illinois officials to outlaw texting while driving back in 2010. Officials then realized that more restrictions were needed. Under the new law, that caught texting will be issued a moving violation that will go on their driving record, instead of just getting a warning ticket. Those convicted of three moving violations in a year could have their license suspended. Violators will also face a $75 fine for their first offense, $100 for the second, $125 for the third, and $150 for future offenses. There are exemptions, however: a law enforcement officer performing official duties, a driver reporting an emergency, or a motorist using hands-free mode. According to The Chicago Tribune, Illinois State Police issued 15,150 citations for distracted driving last year. Read here for more information.
