VANCOUVER – Starting Monday, Feb. 1, fully licensed drivers caught talking on a hand-held phone or electronic device will face a $167 fine, while those found texting or emailing will also net three penalty points, Solicitor General Kash Heed reminded British Columbians today. Police have been stopping drivers throughout January to give them warnings about talking on a cellphone, and people seem to be getting the message and changing their behaviour," said Heed. “But the grace period will soon be over and drivers who don't keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road will now pay the price.”
