SEATTLE, WASH. – You text and drive – you pay.

That’s the message of a major campaign focused on distracted driving.

A recent study shows cell phones are the main distraction for more than two-thirds of distracted drivers in Washington.

Starting Monday, dozens of agencies across the state kick off a two week campaign focused on distracted drivers.

If you get caught with your cell phone to your ear or texting, you could face a $136 fine.
