#HNNEnvironment See how #NewYork State troopers catch texting Drivers.

"Look at that," New York State Trooper Clayton Howell says, pulling alongside a black BMW while patrolling the highways north of New York City. "This guy's looking down. I can see his thumb on the phone. I think we got him." N.Y. is now aggressively attacking texting while driving, and has given state police 32 big, unmarked SUVs to better spot texting drivers. That can mean five points on a driver’s record and a fine of up to $200. In a two-month crackdown during the summer, police wrote 5,553 tickets for texting while driving, compared to 924 during the same period last year. (Photo: AP) http://yhoo.it/1iJirlQ
