Rules of the road: Cell phone, texting laws change and amp up fines for drivers
Placeholder Image
The start of school comes with a new set of rules for drivers, some of them aimed directly at teenagers. There will be no more second chances in Georgia. Beginning Aug. 1, teens under 18 who are caught talking on cell phones while driving will receive a fine of $150 and that cost goes up to $350 if the use of a cell phone results in an accident.
