July 1st, 2008 - Become a Douchebag or get a ticket.
If you aren’t already a douchebag wearing a douchetooth headset…better save up some dough. You are either going to have to succumb to buying and then wearing the badge of a douche…or pay fines for talking on the celly.
According to Washington State Law:
“Regulating cell phone use while driving (ESSB 5037): Any driver who holds a wireless communications device, like a cell phone, to his ear while driving is guilty of a traffic infraction.
You do not violate this law if you are driving an emergency vehicle or tow truck; if you are talking in hands-free mode; or if you are using the cell phone to report illegal activity or emergencies. The law also does not apply to a person using a hearing aid and does not restrict operation of an amateur radio station.
These infractions do not become part of your driver’s record and they are not given to insurance companies or to employers.
This law is a secondary enforcement law, which means that you may only be given a ticket if you have been pulled over for another traffic violation.
The law takes effect on July 1, 2008.”
Aint this a bitch. I might just have to go out and get a pink polo shirt to put on and pop the collar everytime I get in my car.
