Cell phone Law

Roadshow: 2008 hands-free cell phone law will have some financial teeth
By Gary Richards
Mercury News Staff Columnist
Q About the new cell phone law that takes effect in 2008: Although the fine for violating the law may be a pitiful $20, there could be significant financial consequences if you have an accident while using a cell phone without a hands-free device like you being at fault for having a cell phone in your hand during the accident.

Your thoughts about this? I personally think it's a good idea. Even if the fine is 100$ I get sick of people driving slower and not paying attention because they are on their ****ing cell phones.

I agree man. Morons + Cells + Driving = I WANT TO KILL THAT DUMB ASS!

I say people should be fined $500+ for use of a cell phone while driving for the first offense! Second offense they get double the fine and the phone taken away! Third offense is triple the fine, the phone taken away, and their goddamn license revoked for at least a year!

Pulling off the road and THEN talking on the thing is fine by me.

Personally, I HATE cell phones! The only time you'll catch me with one is when its used for an emergency. Like I've run out of gas a 100 miles from the nearest town or something. Other then that, I don't want to own one, thats what pay phones are for!

If they pass this law, then people should get in trouble for any type of multitasking while driving. Any type of multitasking gives a risk just like talking on a cell phone.

I was in traffic court the other day and someone got fined $90 for a cell phone violation. It pisses me off to no end.

Those kids just need to learn how to text more privately. Your school sends kids to the office for cell phones? Lol.
