Fine for using cellphone while driving jumps to $150

Brian from New Lynn

The fine for drivers caught using their phones behind the wheel almost doubles from TODAY, but those who have had their lives turned upside down by distracted drivers say it doesn't go far enough. The fine for anyone caught goes from $80 to $150 from Friday. Police issued more than 400,000 infringement notices for using a phone while driving last year. Between 2015 and 2019 there were 22 deaths and 73 serious injuries from crashes in which drivers were distracted by a phone.
