Prince Edward Island (PEI) is the latest province to enact hands-free legislation that prohibits the use of a handheld electronic device, including cell phones, while driving.

The new PEI law will officially come into effect tomorrow: Saturday, January 23, 2010. Fines for offenders will range from $250 to $400, and three demerit points; making it one of the most severe punishments in Canada (most fines hover in the $100 range with the exception of Saskatchewan, where it’s $280 and up to four demerit points.)

Similarly, with legislations in Ontario, B.C., and Saskatchewan as of February 1; officers will begin the process with warnings before dolling out tickets in full force.

If passed, the changes to the Motor Vehicle Act will take effect on Jan. 1, 2010. At that point, only hands-free cellphones and devices that require one touch to activate will be permitted.

A new fine of $167 can be handed out as of Feb. 1, 2010. If drivers are caught texting or emailing they will also receive three penalty points on their driving record.

“It’s official…maybe. Minister Jim Bradley says that the hands-free ban that was confirmed earlier this year for the province of Ontario will “likely” come into effect by October. Starting that month, drivers found chatting on a cell phone or operating a handheld wireless gadget in a car while driving could face hefty fines.

While the use of handheld electronic devices will be strictly forbidden under Bill 118, motorists can still use hands-free accessories, like Bluetooth headsets and speakerphones. Drivers will also be allowed to depress the button requires to power up these units, like portable GPS devices, but no further manipulation of them while driving will be permitted. Fines can go as high as $500.” - Market News -
