Where did you pull this info? Haven't heard of some of it, and read conflicting info on others... particularly #9. The way it reads in your post, it has MUCH more teeth than what I read was coming, and starts sooner.

It was just sent to me in an email from a friend.

Garcia Bronco · 06-21-2007, 05:55 PM

In Virginia, all traffic laws typically went effective 7/1. 3 miles above the "limit" is too aggressive IMO. IMO...there shouldn't be speed limits anyway...but I am just one person

Good, about time to get people in line with and obey the rules!

BTW, isn't this just some kind of email hoax?

This is FALSE, I just got a carpool ticket on the 405 and my friend sent me this as an email to scare the crap out of me. I looked it up and it was a total farce.

My carpool fine was 341 and you do not have to go to traffic school.

I don't get all the support for cell phone laws. Yes, everyone hates the stupid chick cutting you off while talking on her cell phone... but it's the conversation she's engaged in that has her attention. It doesn't take your attention to hold something to your head. I can drive around all day holding a toaster to my head and drive attentively. Give me a hands free headset and I still notice it takes my attention trying to monitor the conversation. So what do the new laws actually accomplish?

way to jump the gun and make me panic.... Oh hell, I hate SoCal anyways, just another reason if ti were true.

I really blew it.

That One Guy · 06-21-2007, 07:54 PM

I know it's not true but there are cell phone laws popping up everywhere nowadays. All army posts adopted em already and I think it's retarded. I was driving to work shortly after the laws were enacted and I was eating an apple. I bit into the apple and bit the part with the sticker on it. I then began to dig through chewed up apple to pull out the sticker while still doing 35 on the way to work and that's not against the rules. Well, it probably is against SOME rule but noone'd pull me over for it unless I was swerving lanes or something. In contrast, let me drive down the road listening to my voicemail and it's a ticket. People everyday are clamoring for these laws and it's just... I just don't get it.

I live in socal and its nuts out here. People don't give a **** on the road, they drive and talk. It can cause an accident much like drinking and driving. Your driving a car not a phone booth.

footstepsfrom#27 · 06-21-2007, 08:05 PM

Cell phone driving laws are stupid...just more Nazi-like crap to bleed the motorist for money. All kinds of things can distract drivers, not just cell phones. Why not ticket soccer moms for letting more than 1 kid talk in the back seat? How 'bout changing the radio station? Plugging in CD's?...eating a hamburger?...having a dog in the car?...listening to iPods?...checking a map?

Jana® · 06-21-2007, 08:27 PM

I thought California already had that cell phone law. My friend told me that it was illegal to use your cell phone while driving unless you use a hands free device.

Dukes · 06-21-2007, 08:36 PM

After living in Cali for the last two years, every one of these SHOULD be invorced immediately. People out there drive like chickens with their heads cut off.

Billy Clyde Puckett · 06-21-2007, 08:41 PM

California does have a law that bans computer use in a moving vehicle. They actually make devices that blank the screen on laptops anytime your vehicle is in gear. It is intended for service guys and the like. The were selling like crazy at a trade show I went to a couple years ago.
