New York and Connecticut are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) meaning that once you are convicted of the driving while talking on a cell phone offense by the NYC courts they will inform the CT Department of Motor Vehicles.

As you should be aware operation of a motor vehicle while using a hand-held mobile telephone to engage in a call or while using a mobile electronic device when vehicle in motion is against the law in Connecticut per CT statute 14-296aa(b). So it is against the law in both states to talk on the phone without a hands free device.

The CT Department of Motor Vehicles typically assigns points to a person's driving history if they are convicted of a violation but not if you make a payment in full and dispose of your case. The DMV does not state whether points are different if the violation is from out of state.

Since neither the CT DMV nor Driver Services Division note online whether out of state violations go on your CT driving record or are assigned points we contacted them. The CT DMV representative that we contacted stated that if you hold a Connecticut Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) then the violation would appear on your Connecticut record.

If your license is a regular license, Connecticut will not transfer the out of state violation to you record or assign points. The only time Connecticut would take action on this violation is if you do not pay the ticket and New York asked the CT DMV to suspend your license for non-payment.
