Think you can use your cellphone while stopped at a red light? Think again! Under New York’s Cell Phone Law, as changed in late 2013, you can get a ticket for using your cellphone while stopped at a red light or stop sign. That means calling, texting, surfing, etc., etc. This probably also means you can’t even check the time on your cellphone while stopped at a red light! The penalty, besides the fees? 5 points!!!!!!
