Driving While Texting Law In Effect

(07/13/11)

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo today signed a new law that strengthens the enforcement against drivers who use handheld electronic devices for activities such as texting while a vehicle is in motion. The legislation makes this action a primary traffic offense, giving law enforcement the power to stop drivers solely for engaging in this activity.

**The Dunkirk Police Department will be actively enforcing this new section**
