Driving Safely
New York requires all occupants to wear a seatbelt — front and back seat, at every age.
All handheld phone use while driving is illegal in New York, with a fine of up to $200 and 5 driver-violation points.
Keep both hands on the wheel and scan 10–15 seconds ahead so you have time to react to hazards.
