Q: Are using cell while driving tickets considered a moving violation in Illinois? If I get one, do I have to go to court?
Or can you pay the fine for the ticket and plead guilty?
A: Cell phone violations are moving violations in illinois. As far as appearing in court, every ticket is different, read the options carefully. Usually, paying the ticket will result in a conviction on your record. Appearing in court or having an attorney handle this on your behalf is typically the better option to avoid the conviction.

A: Cell Phone Use Tickets in Illinois are now all moving violations as of July, 2019. You need to look at your ticket to see if a court appearance is required. If one is not required, you could just mail in a payment but that is never advisable. If a court appearance is required, you can appear in court and request Court Supervision. Regardless, you want to try and get Court Supervision.
