If you are convicted of distracted driving, including texting behind the wheel, your license may be suspended for three days. First time fines now range from $615 to $1000, which is up from the previous minimum of $490. In addition to the fine and perhaps more significantly, drivers will suffer a three demerit point loss for such conviction. This will undoubtedly result in increased insurance costs.
