What the Law Says
Since January 2021, Arizona bans the use of handheld devices while driving. Texting, scrolling, or holding your phone while driving—even for navigation—can result in fines. Hands-free options are still allowed.
💵 Financial & Legal Risk Exposure
- First offense: $75–$149 fine
- Subsequent offenses: $150–$250 fine
- Accidents caused by distracted driving may escalate into criminal charges: reckless driving, endangerment, or vehicular manslaughter.
⚠️ Impact on Personal & Professional Life
A single citation can affect:
- Your driving record
- Insurance premiums
- Your criminal record (in serious cases)
