Distracted Driving / Cell Phone charges in Vermont
Distracted driving and handheld-phone citations allege you used a device or were otherwise distracted while driving. Enforcement and penalties have risen sharply nationwide. In Vermont, a conviction adds demerit points toward the Vermont DMV suspension threshold of 10 points in 2 years, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.

Attorneys challenge whether the device was actually in use, hands-free compliance, the officer's vantage point, and whether the cited conduct met the statute's definition.
