Talking on your cell phone while driving is illegal in California. Hands free devices are allowed.
From the Los Angeles Times: "The first offense will result in a $20 ticket, and subsequent citations are $50 apiece. But with court costs and penalties, the true costs of those tickets are $76 and $190, respectively."
Here are some personal experiences and how much the ticket was:
Cell Phone use while driving. Just got the ticket in the mail today 240 bucks.
A cdl truck driver that receives a speeding ticket has more to worry about than just the fine. A serious CDL violation such as a 25 over speeding ticket can cost you your job not to mention the increase in your personal car insurance. In general a cdl truck driver should contest any California speeding ticket he receives. Normally you will receive what is known as a courtesy notice from the California traffic court within two to three weeks of the violation. It will tell you how much is the fine. California has some of the highest speeding ticket fines in the nation. The fine can vary from county to county so only the California traffic court can tell you the amount. You must take care of the ticket by your court date even if you do not receive the courtesy notice or they will usually suspend your license and issue a warrant. The traffic court location is on the ticket and you can Google for their phone number. Usually it is difficult to get through on the phone.

Phone your nearest police station and ask them !
A phone call to the court where the violation occured should clear up any misconceptions.
I just received my "Superior Court of California Notice" for my first offense cell phone ticket by the chp and it was $160
The fine for a cell phone ticket in Fresno, California is around $162 to $283 for the first offense. Subsequent offenses can result in higher fines.
Nope! The ticket that comes in the mail WILL have to option to go to traffic school in case your insurance raises your premium for having a ticket, but most insurance companies don't for a non-moving violation, so just check w/ your insurance company. I got one in CA (Orange County) and it was $149. Just pay it out.
the right answer is $700
