thats why I made the thread, no one knows the actual date. Government sites say 7/1/08 (which is the same as the "operative" date in the CVC)

 

According to the California Driver Handbook the law doesn't take effect until 07/01/2008

I can see it now cops will be pulling people over by the dozen, claiming cell phone usage, then breathalyzing, and checking carb numbers.

They shouldn't be allowed to pull you over for this, maybe just cite your vehicle in the mail but no pull overs, thats bs.

 

does shoving your cell phone in your earflap beanie count as hands free? i do that in the winter time

 

I disagree. Half the time someone cuts me off at a stop sign or almost sideswipes me on the freeway or does something else equally dangerous/stupid, I look over and see em on the cel phone. Should've been outlawed years ago. It's reckless driving at it's finest. Cite em all.

 

there should be multipliers too

cell phone+big sunglasses
cell phone+highlights in hair
cell phone+Roxy stickers on car
etc
etc
etc

 

And fine every idiot with a NORCAL sticker while yer at it.
