Good. I find that most people can't handle doing these two simple things at the same time. Cops need to start handing out more tickets to these douchebags, haha.

The TS (thread starter) deserved the ticket. The cop who gave it to him was right on and he deserves a tip of the cap. Thank you Orange County police officer for potentially saving the life of another person or preventing someone from getting seriously injured.
BTW, I just caught wind of some people who are getting rid of their cell phone for good. I didn't google the subject, but maybe there's a small community of people (landliners) who have decided to never use a cell phone on a daily basis ever again. Good. Because some cell phone contracts are loathsome and are riddled with 'gotchas' in small print, so any kind of backlash, no matter how small, is something I hope takes root.

California Vehicle Code 23123. (a) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle while using a wireless telephone unless that telephone is specifically designed and configured to allow hands-free listening and talking, and is used in that manner while driving.
(b) A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a base fine of twenty dollars ($20) for a first offense and fifty dollars ($50) for each subsequent offense.
(c) This section does not apply to a person using a wireless telephone for emergency purposes, including, but not limited to, an emergency call to a law enforcement agency, health care provider, fire department, or other emergency services agency or entity.
Its been illegal in all of California since last July to talk on a cell phone while driving a car unless its somehow set up for handsfree use.
They ran ads for months and had every Amber Alert screen on every Freeway notifying motorists.
