New York cops issue 9,000 tickets in driver cell phone crackdown

New York City police typically issue 500 phone-while-driving tickets per day.



Last Friday they issued 9,016 tickets during a 24-hour crackdown on phoning-while-driving.

Get caught driving while using a hand held phone and you could be fined $120.

Taxi drivers are held to an even higher standard. They can receive a $200 summons from the Taxi and Limousine Commission for using even a hands-free phone while driving.
