Don't know what it costs if your caught talking on the phone without the hands-free action bumpin' in Cali.. But that, IMHO should be REALLY expensive. Don't know how many times I've found an idiot who I wondered if drunk.. When I passed them as I'd MUCH rather they crash behind me & looked over.. "One day... At band camp..." Nope, not drunk. Phone time. Sigh.
I hope soon that becomes illegal here in Oregon as folks here have enough problems driving. I don't know if its the lack of skills or if the infrastructure hasn't grown with the population, but often I've looked at the traffic load & the speed we were traveling & said to myself "If we were in Socal.. We'd be doing about 85 right now".. How fast were we moving? Ya often less than 40.

Now.. I don't want to speed- I just want to be able to do 5 to 10 over the limit. Why? Well, the whole point of being in the car is to be somewhere else. And the van I have isn't *That* awesome that I absolutely love being in it. So let's f'in Go, Please.
