[jimbo74]

just got an email form my dad in a pdf

it says no cell phone use while driving unless it has a hands free device

if you are under 18 years old, you CAN NOT use a cell phone @ any time while driving

both take effect july 1, 2008

[ninja turtle]

[Aggietaco]

Good, now if this could be a national thing my middle finger might get some rest...

it doenst go into effect until july 1, 2008 ..... also, the rules dont apply to cops when they are engaged in their duties

[WHITE_TRASH]

Ahh same as washington then.  I need to buy a better bluetooth for the truck, I have a couple decent ones but the truck makes a shiat ton of noise so its hard to hear or be heard.

where do you live?! im in the bay area... and there are way more idiots on the roads driving than the cops.... if every cop i ever saw was on a cell, it still wouldnt even come close to how many reuglar motorists have a scell lodged up their ears

[Lady Di]

Cell phones and mascara application are still good to go in FL

Bout time.  Had to DODGE an idiot yakking on the phone in a parking lot yesterday.  And another driving around town that I had to go around.  20mph in a 35 zone. 

Seriously - 40% of all accidents are caused by distractions.  Over 50% of them currently are... cell phones, GPS units, and PDAs.  Really scary, and living here in L.A, I deal with one idiot every couple of days.

thats it?! lucky guy

[Rocksurfer]

Funny thing is there has always been a law on the books for distracted driving which would apply for makeup appliers, electric shavers, eater, so on and so on. I would think that it could also apply to phone users, but it seems it is an overlooked law that nobody enforces.

[jrock]

Yeah, laws are pointless if the damn cops don't enforce them.

I heard of this law, glad it's finally put to use.

[solar86yota]

Sounds like a good law to me, I can't count the number of times iv'e almost been drilled by some dumb person on a cell phone! I v'e been hit twice, once rearended by some dumb lady on a phone, another time hit on my mtn bike at a crosswalk. Some people need to roll waaay back on the cell phone use!!

I don't own a cell phone or a pager. I just hang around everyone I know, all the time. If someone wants to get a hold of me, they just say 'Mike,' and I say 'what?' and turn my head slightly.

Then you'd run into to the back of the old lady that just pulled out in front of you at the last moment and is doing 20 in a 65.... and just because they were all there to see it..your friends go ..
