Attorney, Ross Cellino, who works in both the Rochester and Buffalo offices, weighs the impact of the New York State Senate legislation that will toughen teen driving laws. Not only will it be illegal for drivers of all ages to text message while driving, but the bill further requires that a learner's permit must be held for at least 6 months before a junior license can be obtained.

Parents often worry about the safety of their young adults, particularly when they are driving with their friends.
