LaSalle police are sending out a reminder about distracted driving.
The police service says last week, in less than two hours, the traffic unit stopped six motorists for distracted driving.
According to police, all the incidents were cell phone-related offences.
Police say the set fine is $615, along with three demerit points and a three-day licence suspension for a first-time conviction.
Penalties increase for additional convictions, and novice drivers face escalating licence suspensions.
In Ontario, it is illegal to hold or use a hand-held cell phone or other electronic device while driving, including when stopped at a red light or in traffic.
LaSalle police say simply holding your phone while behind the wheel can result in a distracted driving charge.
