Cell Phone Tickets Los Angeles

A cell phone is now one of the most popular forms of modern communication, but the state of California prohibits the use of a cell phone while driving. Drivers that are caught violating this law can be issued cell phone tickets in Los Angeles. The state has enacted these laws after recommendations and studies were completed by third party agencies that proved severe accidents can happen when drivers are distracted by mobile devices.

Drivers using a cell phone to communicate while driving should know that the state can and will collect a fine of $80 for the issuance of Los Angeles cell phone tickets. A cell phone ticket is an infraction and will remain on the driving record of a driver, but without any points.

Some drivers may believe sending texts instead of talking on the cell phone will help avoid getting a ticket. California has enacted legislation against this activity as well. Any driver caught texting while driving can receive an unsafe operation of a motor vehicle ticket. This ticket, also an infraction, will remain on the permanent driving record upheld by the DMV. A driver may choose to admit guilt and pay the ticket, but Mr. Ticket can challenge all cell phone tickets in Los Angeles in court.

A police officer giving a sworn testimony must be able to prove that a driver was not using a hands-free calling device to make a call to an emergency services department. California drivers have the choice of making a defense or admitting guilt after the issuance of a cell phone ticket. Mr. Ticket knows the law and exactly how to convince a judge in court to throw out one or more Los Angeles cell phone tickets and wipe the driving record clean.
