California to cagers: Hang up and drive!
The California "hands free" cell phone 'laws' take effect today - cagers aren't allowed to use a cell phone unless the driver is using a hands-free device.
Personally, I don't see this as having a major impact on safety. But it certainly will drive sales of Bluetooth and other wireless devices.
Now, if I want to use my cell phone while riding my sportbike through the twisties, I guess I'll have to upgrade to the latest cell phone technology - my old trusty Nokia isn't Bluetooth-compatible.
Nice to see the California legislature has all that time on their hands.

Just another excuse to hassle??
time will tell if this just becomes another 'tool' the cops will use to nail people (like seat belts and equipment hassles) when they need an excuse to pull someone over.
Cool shades
I just bought a pair of sunglasses with a built in 2Gig MP3 player, and bluetooth for about $35.00 off E-Bay.
Brand new from China (they sell to 0Akley who resells for about $225.00)
These will be great on the bike!
