Calafornia: Caller ID is illegal



Caller ID is completly legal

It is illegal to drive while talking on a mobile phone


Man, I wish this law was in effect everywhere

[quote author=wһіѕ

No sh*t.  You try driving on GA 400 with these looney drivers weaving around because they have one of those effing cell phones slapped to the sides of their heads.


A few months ago, I saw this guy driving an SUV while talking on his cellphone.  He was trying to turn a corner in the busy downtown area.  The moron was madly honking his horn cause the pedestrians were not walking fast enough.  He had his car window down, and I watched as this woman who was walking across the intersection, reach into the car window, grabs the guys cellphone, slam it on the pavement, then walk away like it was just an ordinary day

if only I had the nerve to do something like that, I'd be smashing cellphones all over town ;D

It's illegal throughout Australia, and it's a bloody good law.

Now if we could only get people to stop reading street directories/maps  :(, or put on makeup whilst they drive  ::) :o >:(, that would be another step in the right direction  :)

It's illegal here as well but the fine is something really pointless like
