<DIV dir=ltr>Another tiddly-wink law to add to the pile of unenforceable
ridiculous laws in this state! My opinion, of course<BR><BR>Text
messaging in motor vehicles is about to go the way of making calls on
hand-held cell phones in California.<BR><BR>Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed
a bill Wednesday that will prohibit California drivers from text messaging
beginning Jan. 1. He signed Senate Bill 28, authored by Joe Simitian, D-Palo
Alto, that bans the use of an electronic wireless communications device to
write, send, or read a text-based communication while driving a motor vehicle.
There will be a fine of $20 for a first offense and $50 for each subsequent
offense.<BR><BR>Simitian was also the author of the legislation that limits
use of cell phones by drivers in California to hands-free devices that went
into effect July 1.<BR><BR>"Building on legislation already helping save lives
in California, I am happy to sign this bill because it further encourages safe
and responsible driving," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "Banning
electronic text messaging while driving will keep drivers' hands on the wheel
and their eyes on the road, making our roadways a safer place for all
Californians."<BR><BR>73<BR>Phil - AD6NH<BR><A
