There’s no new sheriffs in town; it’s the same old ones, but they’ve found yet another revenue source. Everything is about revenue these days and local and state governments have decided that moving violations are a jackpot. In California, first time offenders caught talking on their phones are supposed to be fined $20, second offences $50, and radically higher after that. Truth is, with taxes, court costs, state and local what-evers tacked on, first offences are turning out to be $120 to $140, second ones pushing $200. Better buy that Bluetooth, and use it.

The thing is, a headset is fine for taking calls and talking, but just dialing a phone can be dangerous. And if you even think of trying to text or take a note, you’ve just fallen into the “Special Kind of Stupid” category. What’s a true Road Warrior to do?
