How to beat a cell phone ticket

Cell phone tickets can be tricky to beat. The bar is so low that simply holding your phone while driving is enough to uphold a conviction. Excuses such as “I wasn’t even calling anyone” or “I was just moving it” frequently fall on deaf ears.

Although not a criminal offence in BC, the penalties for using an electronic device while driving are severe. For a first offence, you face a fine of $368 and four penalty points. But that’s not all. You will also have to pay insurance premiums in the form of an extra $444 Driver Risk Premium. The four penalty points are also enough to trigger an added $210 Driver Penalty Point Premium, assuming you have a clean record. That single ticket could end up costing you more than $1,000. You might even be prohibited from driving if you are a Class 7 ‘N’ or ‘L’ driver or if you already have previous offences on your driving record. …
