cell phone violation

Texting while driving

A cell phone violation is an infraction for using a mobile phone in a prohibited manner, most commonly while driving.

Traffic laws in many jurisdictions ban handheld phone use behind the wheel: She got a cell phone violation for texting at a red light.

The term also applies to phone use in restricted areas like courtrooms or secure facilities.
