   For a first time offender , the $23 fine turns out to be a $150 ticket after the counties and municipalities add on fees to the nominal fine.

   I know from experince because I, like Arnold, have an outlaw wife.

   Did any of you watch the HBO series, “Deadwood”?

   Remeber Wu, and how he parroted Swearengen’s favorite curse word?

   I read about these kind of liberals and I hear it said in Wo’s accent.

   “C—ksucker!”

   Haha!!……BUSTED!

   Meanwhile, Ah-nald’s eats his very special happy meal while Sacto’s approval ratings continue to tank.

   It’s no wonder our state is so screwed up.

   Exactly! The Kennedy’s have diplomatic immunity in MA, why not in CA?

   TMZ is owned by Time Warner-AOL and run by Harvey Levin…not Perez Hilton.

   Yes, but unless your wife is a member of the sainted Kennedy clan like Maria – or her cousin Patrick ‘Patches’ Kennedy, who’s a repeat offender for driving under the influence/impaired (however the law reads) – your wife (and by extension, you) actually have to pay up. No nice police officer to escort you (or your wife) home with a polite reminder to obey the rules the next time. /sarc.

    I’ve been using hands-free for a couple of years now…Onstar and through my navigator. I never did like to fumble for my cell-phone, especially driving home late nights on the highway, when I worked 45 miles away. I usually just let it ring, or pulled over. I always wondered when it will happen that some idiot, yakking nonsense on their cell-phone, would slam into me. It happened to a daughter of mine (rear-ended), last year. I have mixed feelings about making it a law. Too many controlling laws on the books now. Common sense, lacking now in this society, would say to use hands-free.

    There are already laws on the books that cover distracted drivers – anything that takes your attention away from driving.

    The key is for law enforcement officers to actually enforce the law(s) with some measure of consistency.

    There’s no law mandating hands-free where I live, but with as much time as I spend on the road I opted to purchase (and use) a Bluetooth device – something my boss really should have subsidized, but won’t unless it’s mandated by law. And more often than not, he’s the one who’s calling me while I’m driving (and no conversation with him is brief)

    There are already plenty of laws on the books that do need to be enforced consistently and not arbitrarily as they are now. That is a great call and something that needs to be looked at closely if we are to remain as a nation.

    That being said, in the new world … we have to make exceptions for the ruling class so that they can make decisions about what is best for us.

    Praises be to Dear Leader … may he walk in his own light that he may avoid the shadows …

    Hello! Can you spell “Revenue”?

    The CHP and local PDs write thousands of these tickets every year and they yield big bucks.

    Seems the original bill was crafted so carefully that using a cell phone was illegal but texting while driving was still permitted. It took a year for that oversight to be remedied. LOL!

    I have a better solution to the “problem” of using cellphones while driving: Require all cars, trucks and SUVs sold in the United States have manual transmissions only. That ought to keep drivers busy enough to not even bother with using a phone at the same time.

    While we’re at it, can we also get rid of cup holders and cruise control, also for the same reason? And finally, I’d also like to see car stereos removed so that drivers can actually hear the outside world (i.e. emergency sirens and the like) and once again pay attention to traffic!

    I remember last year when this became law. That same weekend I was a the shopping center parking lot, and some idiot, talking on his phone, ran a stop sign in front of me. Good thing I WAS paying attention to his irresponsible behavior.

    I can’t stand distracted drivers on their cell phones. If someone’s driving around in a parking lot (for cryin’ out loud), than PARK THE CAR and talk on the phone.
