New York's ban on texting while driving kicked in Nov. 1 and, according to Jeena Belil, a New York accident and injury lawyer, here's what it means to those who get behind the wheel in the Empire State:

"If you are driving you may not also be doing the following with an electronic portable device:

-- "hold;
-- "speak into;
-- "read from;
-- "touch."

"What can you do?" she asks. "Nothing unless you want to upgrade to the newest available technology out there."

There are two types of smartphone-using drivers: Those who admit to peeking at their devices while driving, and those who lie. And if you've ever glanced up from a text message or e-mail while driving to see the truck in front of you stopped short while you were glancing down, leaving you barely a split second to slam on the brakes, you know it's not exactly the smartest of practices.

So what's a technology professional to do? Well, if you have customers to whom you're providing mobile devices, you might want to gently remind them about the new laws throughout the U.S., including New York. You won't just be saving your customer some grief and the cost of a traffic ticket. You might just be saving a customer.
