It's about the money. $135.00 here in San Diego. The state lawmakers are not going to close down fast food restaurants, Star Bucks or anywhere else you can spend your money and eat in your car while driving. If they are so concered you should't do anything but drive with both hands on the wheel. Don't forget the wireless companies most likely lobbied to sell their stuff. Not many wanted to look like Star Wars characters. I always see the police talking on the phone while driving their police cars. Hello. It’s about the money. $135.00 here in San Diego.

Furthermore, drivers who talk to the passengers should also get tickets. That's what I'm saying, it doesn't make sense either way.

Following the same principle, people caught eating, smoking, drinking, putting on make up and touching any controls on the car radio should also be given tickets. I've read a long time ago that the single most distracting thing in a car was children in the backseat making a mess. Maybe that should be reason for a ticket as well, huh?
