text: After many years of distracted driving the US is finally doing something about it, they instated a law that if you are caught using your phone or it's just in your lap you'll be fined. "Motorists operating commercial vehicles who violated the distracted driving law are subject to a civil penalty of up to $2,750." That may seem too much money for a small thing, but it could save many lives including your own. Using your phone won't only get you fined, it'll also get your license suspended, which you won't be getting back for a long time. With just one time using your phone while driving will take your money, which you worked hard to get.
