Police are cracking down with regard to California's Cell Phone Law (currently 7 states have cell phone laws). One of our regular Go to Gals was caught last week breaking this law--and she wasn't talking with her phone up to her ear. She was using the speaker feature and had the phone held low in her lap. Unfortunately, not low enough for she was spotted by a local policeman and fined $140.00. So beware, hands free means HANDS FREE. 
And remember for the past year California has also had a No Text law where writing, sending, or reading a text-based communication while driving is also against the law.
