I’m not sure how I missed this last week, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that terminates makes it illegal to text message while driving:
“Banning electronic text messaging while driving will keep drivers’ hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road, making our roadways a safer place for all Californians,” Schwarzenegger said in a written statement.
The law goes into effect on Jan. 1. If you get caught by SkyNET the cops, you’ll get nailed with a $20 fine for the first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense. This is a good move as I have seen too many examples of people not paying attention to driving because they’re 2 bZ txtN their bff. Hopefully other jurisdictions copy what Arnie has done so that we can say hasta la vista baby to texting while driving.
