Questions from drivers about VTL § 1225-c(2)(a), Cell Phone Ticket, answered by the Benjamin Goldman Law Office. For penalties, points, and defense options, read the VTL § 1225-c(2)(a), Cell Phone Ticket.
I have a New York driver license, but I was ticketed in New Jersey for talking on a cell phone. Will New York put points on my license for that ticket?
Should I plead not guilty to a texting while driving ticket in New York to possibly receive a plea bargain?
Texting while driving is a serious offense in New York, potentially affecting your record and resulting in fines. Pleading not guilty may offer a chance for a plea bargain, often negotiated by a traffic attorney who can also represent you in court. Consulting with a lawyer could improve the outcome of your case.
