The SFGate is reporting CHP gave out at least 30,000 tickets in 30 days — across the state to people allegedly using cell phones or other electronic devices while driving. The huge number of infractions were handed out as part of a masterplan to enforce the state’s so-called distracted driving laws.
Every one of those ticketed automatically qualified for a free strip search — no telling how many folks actually got probed in the process.
Officials say they are simply trying to remind drivers that it’s illegal in California to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle, unless the phone is being used in hands-free mode, or during an emergency.
Oh! and remember kiddies! Texting or reading a message on a cell phone or using an electronic device to communicate while driving is also prohibited.
