New York is cracking down on texting while driving.  Governor Cuomo passed a new law over the weekend that will place stricter rules on young and inexperienced drivers.

Effective November 2nd, new and young drivers convicted of texting-while-driving will have their license suspended for 120 days.  Second and subsequent offenses within six months of reissuance of the license will result in license suspension for a full year.

According to Govenor Cuomo, it's important to instill safe driving habits early on.  By enforcing stricter penalties on texting and driving and establishing texting zones, Governor Cuomo hopes to make safe driving a priority in New York.
