Why did you post this in an immigration forum, this is an off topic subject.

Also is not true:

Netlore Archive: Hoax email purports to share a set of new California traffic laws effective January 1, 2007 (or July 1, 2007 in a later variant)

SEE: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_c...c_laws_2007.htm

Yes $1068.50 should be the tip off, HOV lane use does not warrant a draconian fine like that, and how did they come up with such an odd amount? Why not a nice round number like $500, $1000... but something that ends with $68.50 cents?

i think its a good idea. almost everytime i get cut off or a close call accident its someone on their mobile. i like to use my mobile while driving as well! i'd be more than happy to give up holding it to have less of a chance of getting in an accident. hopefully the hands-free driving really DOES help though.

Well, ok then I could have sworn that there was some kind of indication that a thread was moved from another forum.
