Distracted driving bill could increase fines, notify insurance carriers

The General Assembly has one week until the session ends.  Legislative leaders are pressing forward with an effort to combat distracted driving.  Fines would be raised in a proposed bill and a point system would be established which could result in a repeat-distracted driver's insurance company being notified.

 

Brookfield Representative David Scribner, a Transportation Committee member, says they are hoping an increased fine will serve as an added deterrent to disobeying the law.

 

Transportation Committee chairman Representative Antonio Guerrera says it's about saving lives.

 

Fines would increase by $25 for the first violation, a $50 increase for the second offense and a $100 increase for the 3rd violation.
