Driving and texting is very dangerous. Many lives have been lost and ruined due to texting and driving. California has banned texting while driving and whether considered a moving violation or not, jail time and a large fee, are associated with this crime.
I can only answer what happened in court today with my daughter who is 16. We live in Ohio. She had a headlight violation and too many passengers. The judge must have been in a good mood because he dropped the too many passengers and the license restriction charges and just gave her a headlight violation. She had to pay a $25 fine and $70 court cost but has no additional restrictions on her license. He did worn her that if he sees her again before she is 18 that he will not be so generous.

Reckless driving is often considered a major violation and will likely get you 6 points on your license, just like a drunken driving violation does.
"How long do seatbelt tickets stay on your driving record?" In many states a seatbelt violation is considered a non-moving violation and is not entered on your record. If it is entered it stays on for three years. Your DMV can tell you the policy in your home state. lwpat http://www.speedingticketcentral.com
Ohio does not consider a seat belt violation to be a moving offense so they do not assess points on them. Seat belt fines for drivers is a $30 fine, and for passengers it is a $20 fine in Ohio.

You can carry as many passengers as your car is designed for.

I went to court today. I am in Ohio. I had a headlight violation because a part broke and my headlights went out and I had too many passengers in my car for a 16 year old. The judge dropped the too many passengers and charged me with only a headlight violation. I paid a $25 fine and $70 court cost. He gave me no additional restrictions on my license. He did worn me that if he saw me in court before I was 18 he wouldn't be so generous.
