Fewer people using cellphones while driving

It appears motorists in Northwestern Ontario are abiding by the cell phone ban while behind the wheel.

During the first month of Ontario's new distracted driver law, Provincial police issued
22 charges to people caught breaking the rules.

470-charges were laid Province-wide, with the Greater Toronto Area registering the most at 155.

The law banning drivers from using hand-held devices such as cellphones and looking at display screens such as laptops came into effect last October.

But there was a three-month grace period.
