The  Department of Communication for the New York DMV announced that the DMV will impose 2 points for drivers found guilty of using a cell phone while driving for offense on or after February 16, 2011.  Previously, no points were assigned for talking on a cell phone although two points are assigned for texting while driving violations. The new regulation will align the point penalty for both violations.

In November 2001, New York banned handheld cell phone use while driving and established a fine for the violation of up to $100. In November 2009, NY banned the use of portable electronic devices for texting while driving took and established $150 fine and 2 points for a violation.  Read full release.
