California to Ban Cell Phones/Laptops/Mobile Devices on Road
While California certainly wouldn't be the first state to enact such legislature, it would be the first to take it to such a degree. If a proposed bill passes through California legislature, any teenager (under 18) found driving with a cell phone, or any mobile device, for that matter (PDA, laptop, etc.) will be fined. California gets $20 richer the first time a teenager is caught text-messaging on the road and $50 for every subsequent offense. There is no word as to whether or not this ban would extend to all California motorists, and not just the junior ones.

haahaa I would just laugh at your $50 fine...
BTW... how the hell do you use a laptop/pda while driving??????
@Drunkenmafia: what do those points do? I can understand the $250 fine but I don't get what the points are for... is it like if you have too many points you lose your license or something?
