Pay Attention: Texting While Driving is Deadly

Effective November 1, 2009, New York State has joined the ban on hand held devices, including the sending of text messages, by drivers of ALL ages. Violators of the new law will be subject to a $150 fine. However, the ban on portable electronics is considered a secondary offense, which means that it could only be levied if a driver is pulled over for another violation.
