CALL ME BACK.....
The State of California just passed a new law that mandates that drivers must use ‘hands-free’ telephones in their cars. It was long overdue. If you are on the road and see an auto weaving between lanes; hogging the left lane and driving slower than a turtle; or just acting like a danger to the other drivers it’s guaranteed to be one of three things. You can bet the farm on it. It’s either a senior, senior citizen behind the wheel who shouldn’t be on the road in the first place; an Oriental who should be driving a rickshaw and not pissing off other drivers because of their lack of skill; or - it’s some schmuck still using a handheld cell phone in spite of the new law. Obeying the law will not only make you a better driver but has some other benefits. You can now give yourself a pedicure while driving; put on your make-up and if you're a lucky guy get a quick auto-suck.
These arrogant SOBs not only are breaking the law but couldn’t care less. Every time I see one of them I quickly look around hoping to see a cop near-bye who will not only pull the putz over but taser him, or her, until they look like somebody holding the third rail. But like that old saying, “You can never find a cop when you need one.”
I applauded the new law when it was enacted like everyone else…unless they happen to be holding a goddamn cell phone. Gov. Arnold has to do something about these drivers breaking the ‘hands-free’ new law. The State should spend money and publicize it and warn of the consequences of a driver caught with a cell phone in their mitt. Up the fine for law breakers until they realize it’s a serious offense. Something like their first born might do the trick. OR, allow us law abiding drivers to take down the license plate of the offending car and report it to the police.
If you see anybody, anybody, entering a car with a cell phone strapped to their waist you should have the right to make a citizen’s arrest unless they can prove their car has ‘hands-free’ capability or a blue tooth with or without a cavity. If you disagree with this rant you can call me on my cell phone.
