Hands Off the Cells, Drivers

Remember, you can no longer prattle away on your phones while driving after the mandatory hands-free cell phone law goes into effect tomorrow. And while the new law will not be as enforced as, say, the Click It or Ticket seatbelt rule, which became a car-ride standard over two decades ago, you can land yourself $100 ticket for talking on your pretty little iPhone while heading down Highway 280. But it's still legal to text-message until Jan. 1, 2009. Which? Makes no sense whatsoever. Anyway, hands-free devices are leaping off store shelves, so be sure to get yours today to perfect that look while avoiding a costly ticket from the fuzz.

But it's still legal to text-message until Jan. 1, 2008. Which? Makes no sense whatsoever.

Indeed, because Jan 1, 2008 is in the past! Did you mean 09?

I personally will continue to answer calls with "im driving i'll call you back" and hanging up as I have always done. They should have a 10-second rule. The people who go into long conversations deserve the tickets!

Hubcab - we all know that those who deserve the tickets rarely get them.

So please do report back when you get yours!
