What is the fine for a first Hands-Free Act violation?

The rule

Breaking the Hands-Free Act costs a $100 fine for a first offense, and a $200 fine and two points for a second or later offense.

A first Hands-Free Act violation costs $100. A second or later one costs $200 and two points.

From the SCDMV Driver's License Manual, page 3-5. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
