If you received a 1225(c) ticket, the officer is accusing you of actually making a phone call while driving.
For 1225(d) tickets, it is irrelevant whether you were actually on a call. If you were texting or using an app, you can be given a 1225(d) ticket. You can receive a ticket for VTL 1225(d) for using other electronic devices including an MP3 player or GPS.
Fines: First-time offenses start at $50, but repeat violations can escalate to $200 or more.
Driver’s License Points: A conviction adds 5 points to your DMV record.
Insurance Premiums: Even minor convictions can increase your insurance rates.
Cumulative Penalties: Points from cell phone tickets can combine with other infractions, putting your license at risk

Negotiating Reductions or Dismissals: Even if dismissal isn’t possible, we often reduce the violation to a non-point traffic infraction to protect your record.
Court Representation: We appear on your behalf at the NYC Traffic Violations Bureau, saving you time and ensuring your rights are protected.
