California drivers must get ready for the upcoming cell phone driving ban that will go into effect in less than two weeks.  On July 1, all California drivers (18+) will be required to use a Bluetooth device while driving.  Just as a reminder, here are the specific details of the law: 

California Cell Phone Driving Ban and Hands-free legislation:

18 and older:  If you must talk on a cell phone while driving, you absolutely have to use a hands-free device beginning July 1.  If you break the law, your first offense will cost you $20 and it will be $50 for each subsequent conviction.  Additional fees may also be applied.

Younger than 18:  You may not use a cell phone while driving or any Bluetooth device.  To keep it simple, stay off your phone while driving and you will be in the clear.

Other Notes Regarding Hands-free Cell Phone Law

Emergencies:  If you are in an emergency, it is ok to make emergency calls to police, healthcare providers, fire departments or other emergency agencies.  By all means, do this!

Points:  No points against driver’s licenses will be assessed.

Passengers:  Are allowed to use any type of cell phone while in the car.

PUSH-TO-TALK Device:  These devices are ok for those people who are licensed to operate a truck tractor or motor truck.
