Here’s another funny CA nanny state story. (Not that my $400 ticket was funny.)
Last month the new law is speaker-phone only, hands-free, on the cell phone while driving.
So in the past, when my cell rang (always my husband with something non-trivial), I just flipped it open quickly and could answer, no distraction.
Now, I have to look at the phone, find the “soft key,” press it, then press #1, all to find the speaker feature so I can talk hands-free.
Much, much more distracting to me while driving.
Now on Drudge its been downgraded from expose to “detailed story”.
