Effective July 1, 2011, new California legislation becomes law that prohibits all drivers from using a wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle unless the driver uses a hands-free device. Non-commercial drivers who violate the law will face a base fine of $20 for a first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense. A commercial driver must adhere to federal, state and local laws with much stricter consequences and stiffer fines.

Since January 2010, the Department of Transportation (DOT) declared it was illegal for any commercial driver to text while driving. The DOT further stated any driver caught texting is subject to a fine of up to $2,750. This is in an effort to avoid distractions while driving a truck, bus or any large vehicle with a commercial plate. Since this is a federal law, commercial drivers have to adhere to it in all states.
