In Illinois cell phone ticket violations can lead to legal implications. It is unlawful to use an “electronic communication device” while driving. A first offense will cost the driver a $75 fine, and the fine escalates with each subsequent offense
Fines for driving and using a handheld cell phone in Chicago were increased by the City Council panel on Feb. 11, 2009. The fine for talking without a hands-free device is $100, from $75. Drivers involved in crashes while holding cell phones will pay a fine of $500, up from $200.A second or subsequent offense for texting while driving is treated as a moving violation by the Illinois Secretary of State. Drivers are also subject to higher minimum fines after a first offense.
