DUI Defender

The Legislature passed a bill making it a crime to drive a car with a cellular telephone in your hand. The law will not go into effect until July 1, 2008, the new law will require that all drivers use “hands-free” equipment when driving. While the fines may be low ($20 for the first offense, $50 for each successive offense) the potential for abuse seems very real. If a law enforcement officer can make a stop for suspicion of driving with a cellular telephone as even using the speakerphone function on your telephone violates the law. For more information on this law go to the California Department of Motor Vehicles website, if you are interested in other changes for 2008 visit here.
