Yup, "Wireless Communication Device/Handheld While Driving" (Florida Statute 316.305(3)(a), first offense, $116 civil penalty). Thanks, Grok.

And eventually, the case was dismissed, because, you know, it's not possible for her to have been holding a phone in her right hand.
From 12 News:
Court records show the citation was dismissed at the request of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputy who issued it. A court hearing had been scheduled for Tuesday, but was canceled after the case was dropped.
The citation, issued Feb. 11 along North Dixie Highway in Lake Worth Beach, accused the driver of violating Florida's wireless communications while driving law.
The comments are beautiful on this one, so I'll leave you a bunch of them.
