CALIFORNIAN ASSEMBLY OKs LIMITING DRIVERS' CELL PHONE USE
[SOURCE: San Francisco Chronicle, AUTHOR: Matthew Yi and Kimberly Geiger]
California motorists would have to use hands-free devices while driving and chatting on their cell phones under a bill that cleared the Assembly and is expected to advance to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk. The legislation seeks to impose a fine of $20 for a first offense and $50 for subsequent offenses. However, the infraction would not result in adding a point to motorists' driving records. Gov Schwarzenegger said recently that something should be done about drivers who are distracted by their cell phones.
