On January 1, 2010, changes to the Motor Vehicle Act make it illegal to use handheld devices, including cell phones, while driving.
 
A driver caught talking on a hand-held phone or electronic device will be fined $167.
 
A drive caught texting or emailing will be subject to three penalty points.
 
Drivers will be permitted to use only hands-free cellphones and devices that require only one touch to activate.
 
For new drivers in the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP), there will be a full ban on all cellphone and electronic devices, including hands-free.
 
Details on what is permitted and what is prohibited under the legislation is at: http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv/publications/index.htm.
