Traffic tickets are just days away from getting a lot more expensive.
If you get caught going 20 mph over the speed limit the ticket jumps from $120 to $164. For a seat belt violation, that find nearly triples from $60 to $164.
Cell phone use while driving is also changing to a moving violation for first-time offenders, meaning tougher penalties.
Texting and driving was once only a moving violation after two or more offenses, but the new law changes it to a moving violation at the first offense.
After three moving violations, your license could get suspended.
All those changes go into effect July 1st.
