HAND-HELDS

A hand-held wireless communication or electronic entertainment device conviction can result in a significant increase in your insurance rates, or worse yet, could result in a suspension of your license.

The hand-held wireless communication device charge covers any touching, holding, or using a hand-held wireless communication/entertainment device (cell phone or tablet), for any reason other than to call 911, at any time while on the road in your vehicle—this includes while stopped at a red light or stop sign.

The hand-held electronic entertainment device charge covers the same thing as the hand-held charge, but applies to entertainment devices such as MP3 or DVD players, televisions, or computers.

The penalties for a hand-held or entertainment device charge for drivers with a G-class license in Ontario are as follows:

For the first offence: a fine between $500 and $1,000 as well as a 3-day suspension of your license;

For the second offence: a fine between $500 and $2,000 as well as a 7-day suspension of your license;

For the third or additional subsequent offence: a fine between $500 and $3,000 as well as a 30-day suspension of your license.

The penalties for novice class drivers (G1/G2 or M1/M2) include escalating sanctions by way of further suspensions upon conviction—even more reason to make sure you have proper representation.
