Well, we're pretty much use to Governor Schwarzenegger's preaching and inclination to spoil all the fun, but if you're from out-of-state (or residing abroad) you are hereby duly informed that the Gov has terminated text messaging while cruising the mean streets of the sunshine State.
On the heels of the legislation signed into law this past week, a first offense will rack up a fine of twenty bucks!
For those who are totally addicted, and find it tough to go cold turkey, additional offenses will ding 'ya fifty bucks each infraction.
Governor Schwarzenegger's new motto for the measure should be:
"Reach out and slap someone"
In a press release, the Governator noted he was ecstatic about signing the bill.
"Banning electronic text messaging while driving will keep driver's hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road , making our roadways a safer place for all Californians."
In view of all the hanky-panky that goes on in my neighborhood in the wee hours of dawn, I doubt that very much.
Maybe they should have a ban on open flies during the hours of midnight and 6 a.m.
Sticky fingers - pose problems of all persuasions - after all!
Well, text messaging is a good start!
