During that time, Paulson stopped two other motorists for suspectedcell phone violations. Neither was given citation.
One driver claimed he was putting his Bluetooth into his ear. Itturned out the other driver, upon Paulson’s inspection of thecell phone, had made or taken no recent calls.
“This is exactly what we wanted — compliance with thelaw. We’re not out here to give people citations. We arehoping our presence will get drivers to follow the law,”Paulson said.
“There will be no grace period and no warnings,” Paulson said. “The word is out. We, along with the media,have been educating the public about the cell phone law formonths.”
California is the first state in the west to enact the cell phonelaw.
The new law is even more strict for drivers under 18. They areprohibited from using a cell phone, pager or any other electroniccommunication or mobile service device — even a hands-freeone — while driving.
The only exception is in the case of an emergency, where driverscan call medical, police and fire officials.
It doesn’t matter if parents give minors permission to use acell phone or whether a parent is in the car with the minor. Thelaw is simple — under 18, no cell phone while driving.
Neither the law specific to teens or the more general law apply topassengers.
Although it is not illegal to text message or dial a cell phonewhile driving, CHP strongly discourages drivers from doing anythingthat takes their attention away from the road.
