Reminder…Cell Phone Ban in Effect

Ontario drivers have been under a ban on using hand-held devices to talk, email and text for a month now.
OPP Inspector Dave Ross says his officers are finding some comply with the new rules but many don’t.
Excuses people give police are they don’t know about the ban, they’re calling their children or spouse, or they’re using their cellphone for an emergency that doesn’t exist.
So far, the OPP have given out more than 1,100 warnings and about two dozen tickets.
