New York's cell phone law which previously carried 0 points will now become a 2-point violation. Hope is not lost because an experienced New York traffic ticket attorney can most likely get those 2 points knocked down to a 0 point violation.
Albany, New York - In a recent interview, New York Traffic Ticket Lawyer Adam Rosenblum, Esq. stated that an official memo has been circulated among New York Department of Motor Vehicles judges announcing an significant update in New York traffic ticket law. New York's cell phone law, Vehicle & Traffic Law section 1225-c which previously carried 0 points will now become a 2-point moving violation.
"The implications of this are huge," Rosenblum said. "In the past, we have spoken to countless individuals charged with cell phone violations and almost universally they decide to just plead guilty and pay it. Now that New York's cell phone law will carry two points we expect phones to be ringing off the hook with
people looking to fight their New York cell phone tickets."
Are you one of the first recipients of the new 2-point New York cell phone ticket? "Hope is not lost," said Rosenblum. "You can still hire an attorney to fight it just like you would a New York speeding ticket. An experienced New York traffic ticket attorney can most likely get those 2 points knocked down to a 0 point violation."
Mr. Rosenblum, an experienced New York criminal and traffic attorney, said that we may also see a spike in sales of hands-free devices. "People who were willing to take the risk of being caught and charged with a 0 point mobile phone ticket might finally go out and buy a hands-free headset."
The new two point cell phone law is slated to go into effect on February 17, 2011.
