Points added to phone-holding drivers INDIANAPOLIS – Hoosiers ticketed for holding their cellphones while driving will now see points added to their license, state officials said Thursday. The state's hands-free law is a year old but points were not allowed to be assessed for the first year while education and awareness campaigns were ongoing. Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Peter Lacy said a violation will mean four points on a license in addition to a fine. “Traveling Indiana's roads is a shared endeavor that is only made safer when we are aware of the law and making good decisions behind the wheel,” he said.
