California <3 ur txt. rotflmao.

In the never ending battle for drivers attention; the road, and the responsibility of paying attention to it, seems to be winning... In California at least...

LAist an excellent source of real time news information has let everyone know that our Governator signed into law a ban on text messaging while you drive. Although the fine for this is unreasonably small ($76) it's definitely a step in the right direction. I can't tell you how many close calls I've had due to the fact that the driver was "multi-tasking". The law becomes official January 1st 2009.
