OK, so it's been a while since I last blogged here. Well, there was a reason for that - I actually got a real job and have been doing it due dilligence. I'm back now, so everyone settle down.It's been over 7 months since the new wireless headset law was passed here in California. As of this past January 1st 2009, a new law prohibiting even texting from a wireless device while driving activated. Basically the intent of the new law is saying that even if you are seen holding a wireless device while driving you will be ticketed. As was recently tested here in Los Angeles this past week, a cell phone in speaker mode held in you hand is against the law.
It really doesn't matter though. For every 10 people I see talking on their cell phone, I'd say only 1 of them are using the device without holding the phone in their hands or otherwise using a wired or Bluetooth headset.
CHP officers out there, you continue to miss out on a very lucrative revenue stream by not citing those drivers still refusing to follow the law.
