Actually, I am quite curious, myself. It may be some time before any numbers come in, but . . . I wonder if most of the drivers out there heeded the advanced warnings.

I see plenty of people still talking on the cell phones without handsfree. I know a buddy of mine's dad got a ticket driving from Sac to San Jose this past weekend. The first day it was in force, I caught myself talking on the cell phone without handsfree as well. Shortly after a co-worker of mine gave me a Jawbone.

I've gotten a few. The last 'gentleman' I got was 71 years old. I use the term gentleman loosely cause he was most upset with me. It was 3 days after his birthday and he thanked me for the wonderful birthday present, but in his own vernacular if you know what I mean. And he wasn't wearing his corrective lenses as required either. Just what I want, to have my loved ones driving next to an elderly person driving without his glasses on while talking on the phone. If you ask me, the section is poorly written. It's easy to get out of it if you ask me. Reading comprehension and interpretation by the courts will be interesting. Case law is about to be established. Who will be first?

23123. (a) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle while using a
wireless telephone unless that telephone is specifically designed and
configured to allow hands-free listening and talking, and is used in
that manner while driving.
(b) A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a
base fine of twenty dollars ($20) for a first offense and fifty
dollars ($50) for each subsequent offense.
(c) This section does not apply to a person using a wireless
telephone for emergency purposes, including, but not limited to, an
emergency call to a law enforcement agency, health care provider,
fire department, or other emergency services agency or entity.

(d) This section does not apply to an emergency services
professional using a wireless telephone while operating an authorized
emergency vehicle, as defined in Section 165, in the course and
scope of his or her duties.
(e) This section does not apply to a person when using a digital
two-way radio that utilizes a wireless telephone that operates by
depressing a push-to-talk feature and does not require immediate
proximity to the ear of the user, and the person is driving one of
the following vehicles:
(1) (A) A motor truck, as defined in Section 410, or a truck
tractor, as defined in Section 655, that requires either a commercial
class A or class B driver's license to operate.
(B) The exemption under subparagraph (A) does not apply to a
person driving a pickup truck, as defined in Section 471.
(2) An implement of husbandry that is listed or described in
Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 36000) of Division 16.
(3) A farm vehicle that is exempt from registration and displays
an identification plate as specified in Section 5014 and is listed in
Section 36101.
(4) A commercial vehicle, as defined in Section 260, that is
registered to a farmer and driven by the farmer or an employee of the
farmer, and is used in conducting commercial agricultural
operations, including, but not limited to, transporting agricultural
products, farm machinery, or farm supplies to, or from, a farm.
(5) A tow truck, as defined in Section 615.
(f) This section does not apply to a person driving a schoolbus or
transit vehicle that is subject to Section 23125.
(g) This section does not apply to a person while driving a motor
vehicle on private property.
(h) This section shall become operative on July 1, 2008, and shall
remain in effect only until July 1, 2011, and, as of July 1,
