New York Cell Phone Law: Just A Friendly Reminder From Your Neighborhood Real Estate Agent!

As a lot of you know (I hope), New York State has a no talking, no emailing, no texting, no make-up application (kidding on that last one) while driving law. The maximum fine is $150.00

It is a secondary law, which means in order for a person to be ticketed for the offense, the driver must have committed a primary enforcement offense such as speeding, disobeying a traffic signal or other violation. This law will replace laws passed by other jurisdictions in NYS.

The only time you can talk on your cell is to call 911 and is for emergencies only. No calling Taco Bell to complain or complain about how bad your kids are, lol.

All Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers: Please note the Federal Ban on Texting for Commercial Truck and Bus Drivers which was announced by the U.S. Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood.

The ban is on the use cell phones to text while driving a commercial vehicle. The prohibition, which took effect on January 26, 2010, is the first step towards the safety of commercial drivers and motorists who share the road with them.

Those truck and bus drivers who are convicted of texting while driving commercial vehicles may be subject to civil or criminal penalties of up to $2,750. Wanna give away your paycheck?

The regulatory guidance on the texting ban for commercial truck and bus drivers is on public display in the Federal Register and available in printed form in the Federal Register. The public can follow the progress of the U.S. Department of Transportation in working to combat distracted driving and a distracted driving commercial at www.distraction.gov
