In West University Place and Southside Place, it's only if you have a cell phone "IN HANDS" when stopped for a moving violation, will you get ticketed for using a cell phone while driving.

West University Place first started enforcing NO CELL PHONE USE in School zones, then later adopted the NO CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING city wide, the penalty is "DOUBLE FINE" for whatever reason you were stopped for, typically $ 250. for speeding, if caught with a cell phone "IN HAND", that converts to a $ 500.00 ticket & goes on your driving record.

I know of cab drivers who have lost their job due to this, 3 strikes & your OUT THE DOOR.!

I would like to see cops pulling over all of those speeders out there seemingly trying to run me over. I would like to see one cop pulling over a driver using a microphone.

        While it's not law now, IF PASSED without legal challenges, it
        could affect mobile operations from a moving vehicle against
        the law.
