The LA times is reporting that in preparation for the 4th of July Weekend the CHP is stepping up staffing by 80% suggesting this is at least in part to enforce the hand's free law and no grace period.
Sgt. Ruben De La Torre said the Los Angeles Police Department will go
through an "educational" period at first, during which those cited will
mostly be drivers who had a mobile phone pressed to their ear and were
driving unsafely.
"It's on a case-by-case basis," he said. "But people have to be aware
that it's a clear and obvious violation. My best advice to people is
don't give an officer a reason to stop you."
Police departments in San Diego and Oceanside are taking it a step
farther, granting an official 30-day grace period before issuing
tickets, even thought the law itself doesn't include a grace period.
I've been hands free for years and I'm looking forward to the law. I'll never forget the day I saw a young lady driving down the 210 passing me, with here cell phone on top of her steering wheel, using both hands to write a text message. I'm not known for driving slow.
