Californians! Remember!


Today marks the start of Vehicle Codes §23123 and §23124, better known as the hands free cell phones, or else law. So dust off those douchebag cordless bluetooth devices and save yourself a ticket!

What's weird is that texting isn't implicated- yet. For whatever reason, this is the biggest shocker, isn't it more dangerous to text-n-drive? Bryan?. From the DMV site,

Q: Does the new “hands-free” law allow drivers 18 and over to text message while driving?
A: The law does not specifically prohibit that, but an officer can pull over and issue a citation to a driver of any age if, in the officer’s opinion, the driver was distracted and not operating the vehicle safely. Sending text messages while driving is unsafe at any speed and is strongly discouraged.
