What is the potential fine for a third distraction penalty?

The potential fine for a third distraction penalty is $500. This penalty structure reflects the seriousness of repeated violations related to distracted driving. As individuals receive more penalties, the financial consequences increase, serving as a deterrent to prevent drivers from engaging in distracting behaviors, such as using a phone or other distractions while behind the wheel. The higher fine for a third offense emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus and safety on the road.

Ultimately, the incremental fines are designed to encourage drivers to take distraction laws seriously and prioritize safe driving practices, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents and improving overall road safety.
