Local Police Will Be Writing Tickets For Texting This Week
Roscoe Police aren't playing games this week. If a Roscoe cop catches you driving and talking or text it's likely you'll be held accountable. As part of Illinois Distracted Driving Awareness Week, Village of Roscoe Police Department have vowed to be extra aware of what drivers are doing behind the wheel.
According to MyStateline.com, fines for first-time offenders will be $75, repeat offenders could pay up to $150.
Most Androids and iPhones have "drive mode", eliminating your phone from distracting you.
