Subject: Cell Phone Use Law -- A Joke
But the big joke of this law?... a $20 fine? I have such a great picture in my head of some kid tossing a twenty to the cop without even a pause in his conversation.
If this is really a big factor to the accidents, and the cost (lives and money) is so great, then make the fine $500, and put 80% of it (after court costs) into teenage driving education. You are NOT going to get ANY attention from a Los Angeles teenager about a $20 cell phone fine! Heck, they pay more than that each month for their text messages!
