The Daily News reports that starting at midnight on March 11, 2009, New York City Police Officers will be on the prowl for motorists failing to use a hands-free device for their cell phones. The blitz will last 24 hours and extra officers will be assigned cell phone enforcement duty.
In 2008, almost 200,000 cell phone tickets were issued in New York City. These New York traffic tickets carry no points but cost around $120 and a conviction to such an offense may result in your auto insurance premiums being raised.
