Big Fines and Points Start Sunday in NJ if you Text and Drive

A new crackdown is beginning. Some of the things you could get pulled over for may surprise you!

That's the name of the campaign and it includes new enforcement strategies.

This includes fines of up to $400 for a first offense...increasing to $800 and THREE POINTS for additional texting and driving offenses!

BUT...there's a whole lot more to Distracted Driving month than just using your cell phone.

Below you will see a list of what cops might consider reasons to pull you over:

Police will have roving patrols, spotters on highway overpasses(!), and cop cars parked at strategic locations.

Be sure to remind your new teenage and young-adult drivers!

And now for the list of other things considered distracted driving:

-- Eating and drinking

-- Talking to passengers

-- Grooming

-- Reading, including maps

-- Using a navigation system

-- Watching a video (uh, duh!!!)

-- Adjusting the radio, CD player, or music list
