TORONTO - Toronto police say they laid almost 1,500 charges last week during their blitz to enforce the province's distracted driving legislation.
They issued 1,321 charges for people using a hand-held communication device, 95 charges for a display screen visible to the driver, and 83 charges for a hand-held entertainment device.
Police had said they would begin enforcing the law which bans the use of hand-held devices such as cellphones behind the wheel starting Feb. 1.
