New California Cell Phone Law, Effective July 1
More than 1,000 crashes were blamed on drivers using a hand-held cellular phone in 2007, injuring 447 people, according to the CHP.
My cell phone has come in handy while driving only a couple of times . . . when I needed to call a tow truck on the highway. I’ve come to loathe cell phone drivers, which is why I look forward to this new law. Effective July 1st, people caught talking into their hand-held cell phones will get a $20 - $50 ticket. I wish the fee were higher, but hey it’s better than nothing.
