New York State’s laws against using handheld electronic devices while driving are some of the strictest in the country. A conviction for this offense carries 5 points on your driver’s license and hefty fines. The law is very broad and the police have become much more aggressive in enforcing it.

The law states that a driver is not allowed to use any handheld device while driving, but there are several exceptions such as hands-free devices (like speaker phone or voice activation), holding the phone to make a 911 call while the vehicle is in motion or texting while temporarily stopped in non-commercial vehicles. It is very easy for a police officer to misinterpret what you are doing with your phone and claim that it falls into one of the prohibited categories.

If you are an out of state driver who receives a conviction for violating this law, it will appear on your record in the State of Connecticut and could cause your home state to assign points to your license as well. The impact can be even more serious if you have a probationary or junior privilege to drive. It is very important to hire a experienced lawyer to help fight your cell phone or any other type of device ticket.
