CALI Cell Phone Law

[GT400SC]

OK, we all know about the cell phone law and that hundreds of tickets have already been written even though authorities said they would wait until August, just to give everyone a break on the new law. For all I know, maybe the tickets being written are "Warnings" and not the full costly version.

So, I get to wondering...Is it OK when your cell phone rings to pull over to the side of the road and stop and THEN take the call if you don't have "hands-free"?

Won't this result in a statistically higher amount of rear-end collisions?

And if it's OK to stop on the side of the road and take the call, can you still be ticketed?

Why not? Aren't you STILL operating a motor vehicle?

If you were intoxicated and sitting in the driver's seat on the side of the road and the engine was running.....YES, you would get a DUI! You are STILL considered operating a motor vehicle. Does the same logic apply to both?

This is going to be interesting!

Hey I would let Gibs post on here but, he just got Some sort of hand free unit in his SS

 

[Gibs]

No if you get pulled over and they say you were talking on it, correct them and tell them you were texting....it is still not illegal to do that!!!!!!!!!


Tell me there is not something wrong with that one....

^^^^That doesn't surprise me.

We have people smoking, drinking 44oz drinks, eating, dressing, shaving, some putting on makeup, people spanking their kids in the BACK SEAT and THIS is what they worry about?

 

[wickedstangs]

I agree with that this is stupid..

+1

 

[Superstang21]

+2 Kinda like the window tint, front liscense plat, and a bunch of other stupid laws....

 

[Roushed2]

Window tint law came in effect because of all those 84' caddy on 24's type drivers shooting the cops.

i think the law will help the commute, because there is a lot of people that cant drive at all, let alone with a phone. but then again, i got limo tint so im not worried.

this law is for nothing but generating revenue, dont kid yourself. they dont care about safety. you know the redlight traffic cams? its been statistically proven that they increased intersection rear end collisions by like 40% because people slam on brakes when they think they might run it. knowing this they continue to put up more. why? revenue.

 

[GT400SC]

^^^^I agree.

And I still predict there will be many more rear end collisions because people will pull over to talk on their cell phones and someone else, trying to smack their kid in the back seat will rear end that car.

Back to text messaging, I guess.....

i need another stimulus check for a blue tooth.

 

[GT400SC]

ANOTHER?

I haven't even gotten my first one yet. Tried the website and toll free number and they have no information. IRS-Incredibly and Reliably STUPID!

 

[yosemiddysam]

I have not gotten mine yet either.........

 

[Roushed2]

LOL

 

[GT400SC]

That's cuz they know it's MOD MONEY!

 

[Gibs]

I paid 115 for the Parrott bluetooth parts and bestbuy installed for 85.......200 is cheaper than a ticket though so GTG...
