The "Look, Im a Moron" cell phone initiative of 2008
Did everybody get their hands free device?
Apparently, putting a phone to your ear and having a conversation while driving distracts you to the severe point of possibly causing an accident.
I guess, eating a burger, drinking a latte,text messaging and smoking DOESNT.
Now I feel real safe on the roads.
Lets take a look at this, it just might be worth getting a ticket-you decide.
Its not a moving violation so a point won’t go on your record,
but,when your insurance company sees that you have been cited-some companies may choose to be dicks and raise your rates.
Cost for a Bluetooth- 60 dollars
Cost for a portable-clip on hands free device-80 dollars
Fine for 1st offense- minimum 20 bucks
Fine for 2nd offense-minimum 50 bucks
Wow, what incentive to stop using. Like telling someone to stop smoking because they will improve their health, but they may become fat as a result.
Well, this is probably good, individuals under age 18 wont be able to use cell phones at all while driving. They still will, however, be able to work at the McDonalds Drive-thru, Starbucks, ralphs and cell phone stores so you can buy plenty of things to distract you while on the road.
