Is a cell phone ticket a moving violation in New York?
I’m on a road trip and my car stopped connecting to my phone for some reason. I’ll be in New York tomorrow and I like to chat when I drive, but will it be that bad if I get a ticket for it? Is a ticket for cell phone use a moving violation in New York?

A good conversation can be a nice way to stay alert on the road but be cautious!
A cell phone ticket is a moving violation in New York, which means that in addition to fines and fees, you’ll also get five points added to your license. Getting 11 points in an 18-month period can result in getting your license suspended, so it’s clear that the Empire State takes distracted driving very seriously.
Not only that but the ticket and points will go on your driving record, which may increase your insurance costs. Best not to risk it!
