2007 California Traffic Laws Email: False?

[Invision NSX]

Just something I recently saw. Interesting...

1. Carpool lane - 1st time $1068.50 starting 7/1/07 (The $271 posted on the highway is old). Don't do it again because 2nd time is going to be double. 3rd time triple, and 4th time license suspended.

2. Incorrect lane change - $380. Don't cross the lane on solid lines or intersections.

3. Block intersection - $485

4. Driving on the shoulder - $450

5. Cell phone use in the construction zone. - Double fine as of 07/01/07. Cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving.

6. Passengers over 18 not in their seatbelts - both passengers and drivers get tickets.

7. Speeders can only drive 3 miles above the limit.

8. DUI = JAIL (Stays on your driving record for 10 years!)

9. As of 07/01/07 cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving. Ticket is $285. They will be looking for this like crazy - easy money for police department.


If anyone received this, here's a link to a site that states it's false:

I cant believe there doing the cell phone law. Everyone is going to be pulled over on the side of the road at the same time.

Good, so long as it keeps those idiots off the road around me.

Saw what was almost a horrific accident on the 73 toll road this morning when a woman in a Range Rover was busy yacking on the phone and pulled across two lanes of traffic, narrowly missing some poor bastard on a sport bike.

Get off the phone, put down the cofffee, don't read, leave your makeup for at home and when you're in the god damned car, just drive!
