          They REALLY need to pass that cell phone law in the redneck hell I live in. I swear, putting a cellphone and a car in a redneck's hands at the same time is nothing but a recipe for total disaster.

          Everytime I leave the house I dodge at least 10 rednecks trying to figure out how the hell to keep their cars on the road while taking those all important calls that can't wait..... probably where they are all going to meet to party that night, or who they are going to beat up. lmao

              aside from the 3 miles over the speed limit thing, I think those are some pretty good laws.

                Great. So instead of talking and looking at the road they will be texting and NOT looking at the road.

                              At least someone is trying to do something about idiot drivers. Now we need to have the same laws here in Phoenix.

                                    I rarely see anyone who is on the cell phone getting into an accident.

                                    I also believe that the ratio of being on the phone to not being on the phone is probably pretty close to being the same.

                                    Some people just cannot drive for shit.

                                          I for one agree with this new cell phone rule. I can't tell you how many close calls I've had because someone was "trying" to drive a car while having a conversation on the phone. Some people just don't have enough brain to do both at the same time.

                                          I have an idea for a new law though.......
                                          For each new law that needs to be passed, government must remove five others from the books.

                                          Wouldn't that start to put an importance to things?

                                            * Carpool lane ? 1st time $1068.50 starting 7/1/08 (The $271 posted on the highway is out-dated)
                                            Don?t do it again because 2nd time is going to be double. 3rd time, triple, and 4th time license suspended.
                                            * Incorrect lane change ? $380. Don?t cross the lane on solid lines or at intersections.
                                            * Block intersection ? $485
                                            * Driving on the shoulder ? $450
                                            * Cell phone use in the construction zone. ? Double fine (2 times $285) as of 07/01/08.
                                            * All Cell phones must be ?hands free? while driving Fine is $285.
                                            * Passengers over 18 not in their seatbelts ?- both passengers and
                                            drivers get tickets
                                            * Speeders ? allowance only drive 3 miles above the limit.

                                            * DUI (Driving Under Influence of drug or alcohol) = JAIL (Stays on your driving record for 10 years!)
                                            * teens to put down all cell phones and other electronic devices while driving. The new law prohibits drivers under age 18 from using any cell phone or other ?mobile-service device? while driving, even if it is equipped with a hands-free device.
                                            The term ?mobile-service device? includes, but isn?t limited to, a broadband personal-communication device, specialized mobile radio device, handheld device or laptop computer with mobile-data access, pager, and two-way messaging device. Teen drivers ticketed for a violation will be subject to a fine of at least $70 (base fine plus penalties) for a first offense and at least $175 (base fine plus penalties) for subsequent offenses. Unlike the ban on handheld cell phones, a law enforcement officer may cite a teen for a suspected violation of this law only in connection with another suspected driving offense.
                                            Arnt quite a few of those either exagerated or out right fake? Seriously do you think the state would say you can drive any speed over the speed limit at all? If it is posted 65 and your driving 66 thats illegal, end of story.

                                                I guess it's not that bad. New York State was the first to pass the hands free law.

                                                      Wouldn't that start to put an importance to things?

                                                          are you not reading the information presented here? http://www.dmv.ca.gov/cellularphonelaws/index.htm

                                                          if a person is not operating their vehicle safely a officer can issue a citation.

                                                            how about keeping texting and talking to times when you not drive?

                                                                        Is there really a difference though if the guy is distracted due to yapping on the phone with his hand up to his ear or with a bluetooth earpiece in? I think the bottom line is that he/she is STILL distracted by being on the phone period and that is where the dangers sits.

Teen drivers ticketed for a violation will be subject to a fine of at least $70 (base fine plus penalties) for a first offense and at least $175 (base fine plus penalties) for subsequent offenses. Unlike the ban on handheld cell phones, a law enforcement officer may cite a teen for a suspected violation of this law only in connection with another suspected driving offense.


                                                                                    Arizona needs these laws here. We have the worst damn drivers I have ever seen. They would be nailing so many people here for the incorrect lane change.

                                                                                            yes, i was a cop for 5 years. i know the law.

                                                                                            eating is a distraction.

                                                                                            they are not illegal actions, they are distractions which can cause you to operate a vehicle unsafely. Should you be deemed "unsafe" the officer may pull you over and cite you, or warn you at his/her discretion.

                                                                                            texting IS NOT illegal, talking on the phone is. that is the difference. now, it remains to be seen if someone can safely text and drive. if you do not appear to be "unsafe" you can legally text and drive.

                                                                                            that is the law.

How about these nut jobs racing down the freeway anywhere between 90 and 130 MPH? Those guys need to lose their privileges to drive with a hefty fine.

I saw a guy driving in his car the other day on the cell phone, eating a taco and trying to steer at the same time. He almost hit another car while drifting into another lane.

And I have driven all over the world and by far some of the worst here.. Reason is it never frigin rains out here or snows.. well in Phoenix anyway... and when it does rain.. Oh my... you think these people were trying to navigate a mountain road in Belize!!
