Default New Law?? LMAO

Sorry, but I just had to tell everyone!
I was just watching the news & Sacramento wants/is passing a new law!
Guess what kinda law?

Okay, I'll tell you...
They want to pass a law that would get you a ticket if you talk/text on your cell while riding a bicycle!Really! NO JOKE!!
$20 first time & so forth...
Even kids/young teens will get cited
Has this state gone mad?
I wish I could give a cop a citizen's ticket

I wonder if they'll come out with a law for crossing intersections and texting or talking on a phone...
They fine you for stupidity. Stupid laws that are "out for our best interest" assuming we're all dumbasses that lack common sense.

This is ridiculous, they'll fine you for breathing too much or for changing into the next lane too quickly or too slowly next...

Awhile back I got pulled over for blue lights

Cop was like "Your lucky, I could arrest you for impersonating an officer"
I was like "Your a D**k, 500 cops have seen me with these lights & your the *** that pulled me over, did your wife not suck your **** today?" lmfao He answered my question by searching me & my car, but it was worth it

LOL, you can ride your bike with no handlebars, sounds like a music tune that i know of. But that is a stupid law if they pass it.

I come across it with some frequency. Dangerous. Coupled with riders wearing MP3 type player so they don't hear a thing. I also ride the river trails and they are a hazard to other cyclists. Think similar to driving a car but on a bicycle. I know a few riders who've gone down because somebody is talking on a cell phone, texting or not paying attention to others on the path They can't hold a good line so they cross over or swerve as somebody is passing them. Police won't be there to enforce that.

To some extent, these laws are Peeps should use some courtesy and realize it can be dangerous for others around them whether in cars or bicycles.

Who cares. They won't enforce it anyways. They don't seem to enforce dipholes that do it in their cars so what makes us think they'll enforce it on people on bikes?

I got a ticket in Fullerton for texting while crossing in a crosswalk. I guess you aren't allowed to be on the phone / texting while going through a crosswalk.

$50
