Back away from the cell phone and no one will get hurt.
The New York Police Department has announced a big crackdown on phoning-while-driving.
The 24-hour enforcement operation starts Thursday.
Last year, the NYPD issued nearly 200,000 summonses to drivers using a hand held cell phone.
Get caught and you could be fined $120. If you don't get caught, you'll still be subject to dirty looks from your fellow drivers.
