How much is the fine for sending messages while driving
Currently the fine for driving and texting at the same time costs $126,040 and this great value is due to the fact that according to global and local statistics, Cell phone use while driving is one of the main causes of traffic accidents. Taking your attention off the road, even for a few seconds, exponentially increases the likelihood of collisions.
Furthermore, it is proven that sending messages requires combining three types of distraction: visual, manual and cognitive. This means that the driver is not looking at the road, does not have both hands on the wheel and is not fully focused, which is extremely dangerous.
