New Laws & Wise Teeth
For those of you not in California, we passed a law a couple months ago banning the use of a hand-held mobile phone while driving. This is to encourage the use of a car-wide speaker system that connects to your phone, or a bluetooth headset. However, We’ve seen people holding the cell phone a few inches away from their faces, like that makes it okay:
Oh, we need a hands-free device now? well, how about I just don’t press it against my ear, that’ll be fine.
It’s a hands-free law, not a face-free law.
In personal news, I’m taking tomorrow and possibly the next day off work. I’m getting my wisdom teeth removed while under the effects of general anesthesia. Fun, huh? We’ve stocked up on pudding, jello and juice for my eating comfort. I’ve never been unconscious before, but then again I’ve never had my wisdom teeth removed, so here’s to new experiences.

face-free driving…I love it! that made me chuckle!
I hope your wisdom teeth are out and you are enjoying your jello. I also recommend Chocolate ice cream, but I will always recommend ice cream for any occasion.

I find it funny that this law is now in effect, I don’t obey it 100% of the time…mainly because driving with the phone to my head is SO much safer than texting while driving (Which is legal with this new law). So they make a new law that is suppose to make driving safer when in all reality, doesn’t make much of a difference. I would like to see some stats on what causes accidents, actually dialing the number/texting or talking while driving. The guys up in Sacramento got it backwards if you ask me.
