According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), drivers cannot use a phone while the vehicle is in motion. Some may debate that a car is not “in motion” at a red light. However, any vehicle with a running engine could be considered “in motion.” If the driver checks a phone while he or she has control of the vehicle, that is an illegal action. The law prohibits several actions related to using smartphones while driving.
