Cell/Car Phone Use while driving Vehicles



Cell/Car Phone Use while driving Vehicles:

As from 1 November 2009, it is illegal for drivers in New Zealand to talk, send or read text messages on handheld mobile phones, or other portable electronic devices whose functions include being a telephone, while driving a vehicle.

 
Enforcement for the ban

An infringement fee of $80, and 20 demerit points, will be the penalty for those breaching a ban on using mobile phones while driving. Enforcement action will be taken where a driver is observed holding a mobile phone in his/her hand while manipulating the keys and/or holding the mobile phone up to the ear while conversing.
