How much are current Cell Phone Tickets in NY? -

Just got a cell phone ticket.. Bam ...caught ...can t say I was not asking for it to be honest. I was on speaker phone of all things but I was holding the phone and they saw me. Another expensive lesson learned. Well I was just asking what are current fines because with their crummy surcharges and other b.s. it came out to $220. Just checking if thats about right.. Thanks and be careful out there.

Well, the charge is $100 plus there is a $60 surcharge, not to mention other charges involved. However, you can might be able to get out of a ticket if you can prove to the judge that since getting the ticket, you have gone out and purchased a hand-free phone or cell phone devise, such as a Bluetooth ear plug for your phone.Now, if you where texting while driving, well that s another $100 plus a $60 surcharge. In New York State the law on texting while at the wheel took effect last month.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luck
