3. What exactly is the New York State Cell Phone Law?

Starting June 1, 2013, cell phone violations and texting and driving violations now carry 5 points (up from 3). A cell phone violation occurs when a driver uses a phone without a hands-free device. A texting and driving violation occurs when a driver “uses” an electronic device while driving.
