According to a report in the Albuquerque Tribune, 798 drivers have been cited for talking on a hand-held cell phone since the ordinance went into effect. Two have been cited twice since enforcement began in April.
It’s $100 for the first offense; $200 for subsequent offenses. Those would be a pretty expensive calls.
NewMexiKen sees this violated all the time, including one police officer I noticed using a hand-held phone while driving.
