That can lead to a common question after receiving a ticket:<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">\u201cI was only using my GPS. Does that still count?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The answer may depend on exactly what you were doing with the device.<\/p>\n<h2>Using GPS Is Not Necessarily the Problem<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Navigation has become a normal part of driving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Drivers use phones for directions every day, and using a navigation application does not automatically mean that a driver is violating the law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The important distinction is often how the device is being used.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There is a significant difference between glancing at directions displayed on a properly mounted phone and holding a phone in your hand while driving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you pick up the device to enter an address, change the route, search for a destination, or otherwise interact with it while the vehicle is moving, you may create a very different legal situation.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cI Was Not Texting\u201d May Not Be Enough<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is where drivers are often surprised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">New York&#8217;s distracted driving laws are not limited to traditional text messages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Depending on the circumstances, prohibited use of a portable electronic device while driving can involve activities beyond sending a text.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That means telling an officer, \u201cI wasn&#8217;t texting,\u201d does not necessarily resolve the issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">What matters is the conduct the officer claims to have observed and the particular violation charged.<\/p>\n<h2>Holding the Phone Can Make a Big Difference<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Imagine two drivers using the same navigation application.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The first driver places the phone in a dashboard mount before leaving and follows the displayed directions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The second driver is holding the phone while driving and looking down at the map.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Both drivers may be using GPS, but they are not necessarily using the device in the same way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">New York law places important restrictions on the use of handheld mobile phones and portable electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is why the details surrounding a traffic stop matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Where was the phone?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Were you holding it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">What were you doing with it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Was the vehicle moving?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">What did the officer actually observe?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Those facts may become important when evaluating the ticket.<\/p>\n<h2>What About Entering an Address at a Red Light?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is another common situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You stop at a red light and realize the GPS is taking you to the wrong location. You pick up your phone and begin entering a different address.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Drivers sometimes assume that because the vehicle is temporarily stopped, using the phone is automatically permitted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That assumption can create problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A vehicle stopped in traffic is not necessarily treated the same as a vehicle that has been safely pulled over and removed from the flow of traffic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you need to make significant changes to your navigation, the safer approach is to find an appropriate place to pull over before handling the device.<\/p>\n<h2>A GPS Ticket Can Be More Than an Inconvenience<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A traffic ticket may seem like something you can simply pay and forget.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But pleading guilty to certain moving violations can have consequences beyond the fine itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Depending on the violation and your driving history, a conviction may result in points on your driving record, additional fees, possible insurance consequences, and greater problems if you already have other recent violations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For someone who drives professionally, the consequences may be even more significant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That is why it is worth understanding exactly what you were charged with before deciding how to respond.<\/p>\n<h2>What Should You Do If You Receive a Ticket?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Start by reading the ticket carefully.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Do not assume the charge is simply \u201cusing GPS.\u201d The citation should identify the violation the officer alleges occurred.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Then think about what actually happened during the stop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Was your phone mounted?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Were you holding it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Were you entering information?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Were you simply looking at directions?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">What did the officer say they observed?<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Those details can help an attorney evaluate the circumstances surrounding the citation and explain what options may be available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Every traffic case is different, and the appropriate response depends on the charge, the facts, and the driver&#8217;s record.<\/p>\n<h2>Your GPS Should Help You Reach Your Destination, Not Traffic Court<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Phones have made navigation easier, but they have also created situations where drivers may not realize that the way they are interacting with a device could lead to a traffic violation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you need directions while driving, setting your destination before you leave and using a properly positioned device can help reduce distractions and avoid unnecessary problems on the road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">If you have already received a ticket involving a cell phone or portable electronic device, do not assume that paying it is your only option.<\/p>\n<p>At MontanaroLaw, we help New York drivers fight traffic tickets and protect their driving privileges.
