Shawn, that is correct. Cell phone use in NY while driving is illegal, though it is often done, even by the cops.

Last summer there was a fatal accident on the interstate near where I live and it was determined the driver at fault was texting at the time. As a result, just this week our county passed a law banning texting while driving.
