"Distracted driving enforcement is underway in Berlin as part of the nationwide high-visibility enforcement campaign," the Berlin PD stated in a social media message. "Like everything else, fines have gone up. 1st offense is $200 so please wait or pull over to text and use hands free to talk." A survey from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that while more than 80 percent of drivers believed it was completely unacceptable for a motorist to text behind the wheel, more than a third of those same drivers admitted to reading text messages while operating a passenger motor vehicle.
