Beginning January 1, driving while holding a cell phone will get you pulled over and incur a fine worth a decent chunk of change in the commonwealth.
With Senate Bill 160 Virginia will become the 25th state to ban using a phone while driving, and it calls for first time violators to be fined $125, while subsequent offenses incur a fine of $250 each.
In 2018, distracted driving caused 24,350 traffic accidents in Virginia.
