will be fined starting next month as state traffic laws in Wisconsin start to tighten up.&nbsp; From 1 November, the law that bans inattentive driving is set to expand to include drivers that hold instructional permits or probationary licenses from using either a cell phone or any other kind of wireless phone while driving except in emergency cases.<\/p>\n<p>Texting while driving is already illegal for drivers of all ages in the state.&nbsp; Teenagers are not the only people who will be affected by the new law, which will affect anyone holding a probationary license such as drivers from overseas, people with revoked or suspended instructional permits, and new state residents under the age of 21.<\/p>\n<p>A driver who violates the law could be fined between $20 and $40 for their first offence and $50 to $100 for any further offences made within 12 months of their first offence.&nbsp; Instructional permits, also known as temp licenses or learner\u2019s permits, are issued to those who are learning to drive, with new drivers eligible to receive a permit at 15 and a half years-old.&nbsp; Probationary licenses are issued to drivers who are at least 16 years old, who have been in possession of a learners permit for six months and have concluded driving instruction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope the new law will deter teens and other inexperienced drivers from using cell phones behind the wheel,\u201d says State Patrol Major Sandra Huxtable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teenagers who talk on their new or old cell phones while behind the wheel of a motor
