New CA Driving Law
Following are the new CA Driving Law that I think you may like to know --- for safety/money:
Most critical (to me) --- $285 for cell phone from 07/01/2007, if not using 'hand free'.
Also, Speeder can only 3-miles over the posted limit:
1. Carpool lane - 1st time $1068.50 starting 7/1/07 (The $271 posted on the highway is old). Don't do it again because 2nd time is going to be double. 3rd time triple, and 4th time license suspended.
2. Incorrect lane change - $380. Don't cross the lane on solid lines or intersections.
3. Block intersection - $485
4. Driving on the shoulder - $450
5. Cell phone use in the construction zone. - Double fine as of 07/01/07. Cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving.
6. Passengers over 18 not in their seatbelts - both passengers and drivers get tickets .
7. Speeders can only drive 3 miles above the limit.
8. DUI = JAIL (Stays on your driving record for 10 years!)
9. As of 07/01/07 cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving. Ticket is $285. They will be looking for this like crazy - easy money for police department.

RE: New CA Driving Law
Agreed totally false. The cell phone thing dosen't take place for till later.
This is what I found,
In September 2006 California Gov.Schwarzenegger signed a bill (SB 1613) prohibiting people from driving while using a hand-held cell phone. When the law goes into effect in July 2008, California will be the fifth state after Conncecticut, New Jersey, New York and Washington State to have such a ban. The District of Columbia also has such a law in force.
