The Answer is: $2750

The question?

What is the fine that will be levied on drivers of large commercial vehicles and buses if they violate a new US government ban on texting while driving behind the wheel? This is consistent with the federal government fine for drivers who text while driving federal government vehicles.

It makes you wonder if there is a way to determine if someone was texting at a certain time where a loss occurred and if there is a way of proving that. Look for some attorneys to figure this out.

What has not been discussed is that this is just another way a driver of a vehicle can be determined negligent. As we don't see there being less ways for drivers to be negligent, one would think this would increase loss cost.
