New Law Lets Police Stop Drivers for Texting

Andrew J Lanza

July 13, 2011

    ISSUE:
  • Cell Phones

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.
