It's been illegal for 10 years. Despite increased education and enforcement, tickets issued have continually increased, and sadly so have injuries and deaths from distracted driving. This is the next step. Saskatchewan drivers, you've been warned. Fines increase February 1, 2020.
Distracted driving tickets are ⬆️⬆️ on Feb 1/20
1st offence: $580 and 4 demerits
2nd*: $1400, 4 demerits, 7-day impound**
3rd*: $2100, 4 demerits, 7-day impound**
*Within 1yr of being convicted of the 1st offence
**Vehicle owners are responsible for towing & impound fees
