BC to Ban Cell Phones while Driving in January 2010

Starting Jan 1/10 Talking on your phone in BC will cost you up to $1000, BC is being more strict with their policy regarding the handsfree ban, other cities and provinces stated as long as you use a bluetooth handsfree device you will be exempt, However BC is adding that the hands-free device must be a voice dial or one touch operation.

Just an FYI for those who think they will not get a ticket

So the law passes on October 26th, however it is a "soft law" as many media places have been telling the public that fines will not be given out until Feb 1/10 however here is a recent piece of new I just came across on CP24:

There will be an "education" period in the first three months where police will show some leniency and, in many cases, simply let drivers off with a warning.
But make no mistake -- drivers should not assume they're "scot-free" until February, said Sgt. Dave Woodford, a spokesman for the Ontario Provincial Police.
Cops still have discretion to lay charges by way of summons under the new law, where the driver would have to go to court to find out how big the fine will be,

So its better to be safe then sorry in this case.
