Hand-held cells illegal for drivers in California effective July 1
Hand-held cells illegal for drivers in California effective July 1

In California, drivers who don’t keep their hands off their phones soon will have to pay up if caught. The state’s youngest drivers also will be prohibited from using any mobile communications devices while at the wheel.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill into law in September 2006 that bans hand-held cell phone use while driving. Since then, officials in the state have been preparing for the start date of July 1, 2008, to begin issuing tickets to violators.

Talking on a phone equipped with a “hands-free” device will still be permitted.
Enforcement also is slated to begin the first of July on a 2007 law that makes it illegal for teens under 18 to use any type of cell phone, pager, text messaging device or laptop while at the wheel.

I think they're callin' that "progress".
OH!
WaiT!
Are illegal aliens still, more-or-less, legal?
If they are, does that count as illegal or legal?
I get SOoo confused here in the

That's easy enough for California to accomplish... all any of the state government has to do is speak, and the rest of the world is totally confused.

I've seen some California plates buzzing around out here in the midwest. It's not so much that the people (from there and other states) aren't qualified to use hand held cell phones and the like, its that a lot of them just aren't right to be driving in the first place!

YeAH! Too true.
But, on the flip-side, ya gotta give 'em credit.
At least, and I emphasize "least", they listened before they got confused enough and (knee-jerk) reacted.

Follow the Money Trail.

We can make HOW much writin' citations for drivers getting federally mandated rest?!
And we can do it "LEGALLY"?
By a 'simple' majority vote in favor of savin' the planet,

Show me the (green MONEY!!!)
