MOBILE DEVICE VIOLATIONS

MOBILE DEVICE

Hermiston Municipal Court strives to create a safer community by providing education opportunities.  Eligible drivers who have been charged with using a mobile communication device while driving MAY be eligible to complete a distracted driving education course and have the fine suspended.  This program is offered in order to reduce recidivism rates, reduce traffic collisions and save lives due to fatal traffic collisions caused by distracted driving.

What are the qualifications to participate in the program?

  • Driver must not have any other distracted driving violations pending or convictions in the last 10 years.
  • The incident DID NOT involve an accident.
  • The incident DID NOT involve alcohol and/or a controlled substance.

 

Why should I participate?

  • Upon completion of an approved distracted driving course, and providing that proof to the court by the required date, the fine amount will be suspended. (This program does not dismiss the offense, a conviction will still be entered on your driving record.)
