Hello all I am needing something I can print. I have had several people telling me of a new law that went into effect Jan 1st in WV.
This is a law requiring bluetooth headsets or bluetooth speakers.
If found guilty the business/individual can face up to an $ 11,000 fine.
Any help is appreciated

some of the west coast states put signs up at the borders before halloween.
it's $2750 to the driver, $11,000 to the company. -
I have no problem with this law......it's about time for it
-
I think it should be for ALL DRIVERS, including the police.
Otherwise, it is not for safety, but revenue.MassHole, Mud Dog, bullhaulerswife and 6 others Thank this. -
OH, they are "trained" professionals...or so they believe and will tell you!
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is ZERO reason for a LEO to be TEXTING WHILE DRIVING.

Couple flaws with your thoughts.
1) It can only generate revenue from those stupid enough to break the regulation.
2) The FMCSA has no authority over anyone other than Interstate Carriers. That being fact makes it completely absurd to whine that Officers are not part of said regulation.
3) You as a free man of the state you reside in can contact your elected officials to address these concerns you have about others actions.corneileous and ECU51 Thank this. -
Nearly 5,500 people died and half a million were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver in 2009. Distraction-related fatalities represented 16 percent of overall traffic fatalities in 2009, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) research.
The above came from fmcsa.
The government idiots who bj each other need to focus on more important things to do. How many people were out of jobs and still are? How many families can not afford to pay their everyday bills
Because the jobs are not there anymore? How many families
Are suffering medically because they can not afford the health care needed or the medicine? How many people are loosing their homes, I'm not talking about those who grabbed more than they can swallow. How many people are loosing their homes
Because of the high taxes? How many starving people we have in this country because there is lack of jobs?
What right do those f-king idiots have of wasting our taxed income onto things that are not important? What right do my servants have in telling me what to do? - I pay them to make economic improvements as well as do road repairs and keep the boarders safe. What right do they have in taking my taxed dollars and sending troops where they should nat have been send? What right do they have in taking my taxed dollars and sticking it up their but holes instead of fixing the roads I drive on? What right do they have in using my money for their needs? What right do they have in allowing of the increased tolls? - isn't that what the ifta and fuel tax is for? - idiots. I guess I'll just keep on fueling with red fuel and adding black dye into it. I guess I'll pay less taxes by using the same loopholes the government uses. If I'll see dirty ###### Obama I will make him pay.
Bullets will fly and it will be a lot sooner than we think. Unless those idiotic, no good people will start doing the right thing for the people, peope will take them out.
