NEW LAW LETS POLICE STOP DRIVERS FOR TEXTING

Posted by Andrew J Lanza on Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

A new law in NY will allow police to stop and ticket drivers they see texting on the road, even when that's the only apparent violation. Previously, police could only cite a driver for the traffic violation if they were stopped primarily for another offense, such as speeding. Please remain conscious of this new law while driving.
