Avoid DUI by using hands-free cell phone (No PC after 7/1/08)
San Diego dui attorney news
The Legislature passed a bill making it a crime to drive a car with a cellular telephone in your hand.
The law will not go into effect until July 1, 2008. The new law will require that all drivers use “hands-free” equipment when driving. While the fines may be low ($20 for the first offense, $50 for each successive offense) the potential for abuse seems very real.
If a law enforcement officer can make a stop for suspicion of driving with a cellular telephone as even using the speakerphone function on your telephone violates the law.
