ALBANY – If you’re driving, don’t talk on your phone or text.
That’s the message from New York State Police and Local Law Enforcement across New York, who will be Conducting Statewide Cell Phone and Texting While Driving Crackdown starting Thursday and continuing until next Tuesday.
Governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday announced that State Police and local law enforcement are stepping up patrols and checkpoints throughout the state from April 10 – 15 as part of “Operation Hang Up,” which encourages drivers to focus on the road instead of using mobile devices. This effort combines periods of intense enforcement of anti-texting and hand held cell phone laws coupled with advertising and media outreach to let people know about the enforcement and convince them to obey the law.
