Went to court 9 months later. Judge threw it out. I'm getting real tired of this law. It should just restrict electronic devices to hand held only. What if it is a positioned and secured device? People use there phones as a GPS and as Bluetooth. But they mount it on the vent. With this law you can't even have a electronic device visible to the eye

Why was the ticket thrown out? There are many reasons that a ticket can get tossed, even if the ticket was issued for a legitimate offence.

And, see below. The same applies for all electronic devices that a driver may use (ie. TVs don't count, you still can't watch movies on your dash-mounted screen).

-It is programmed before the person begins to drive or operate the vehicle; It can be programmed in a voice-activated manner;
- If it is a hand-held GPS device, it must not be held in the hand; and
- It must be securely fixed to the motor vehicle in a manner that does not obstruct the person’s view of the front or sides of the motor vehicle or interfere with the safety or operating equipment of the vehicle
