It's illegal in NY to talk on the phone while driving, unless you have a hands free device

Since your one strike away from loosing your license(and possibly your job?) wouldn't it be better to err on the side of caution?

If your state has a cell phone law, then yes.

Does the law include 2-way radios also or just phones.

That is a letter of the law thing, technically Nextel is a cell phone, but used as a 2 way.

I would get an attorney for sure, especially if I was one strike away. I am glad Texas does not have a point system or a cell phone law except in school zones.

In FLORIDA you can drive & talk on your cell-phone But we have a point system, 12 points in 1 year your license is suspended

This, get an attorney. They will most likly get you out of it, or atleast the points.
