In New York, cell phone tickets will result in 5-points being added to
your driving record. If you get 11 points within an 18-month period, your
license will be suspended. In addition to the points, you will also have
to pay a fine of $50-$200 for the first offense. If you are caught using
your cell phone in a school zone, the fine increases. If you cause a traffic
accident while using your cell phone, you could be facing serious charges,
including jail time.
