I hate #7

 

So who votes for this stuff? I didn't see it on my ballot... We should elect new officials!

#7 sucks, #8 is too light. The others aren't of much concern.

However, they need to start pulling people over for not using turn signals! It's illegal, and the cause of many accidents. So many A-holes on the road that move about as they please, with no indication.

 

Uhhh.... again, check http://www.snopes.com/politics/traffic/california.asp .

 

Come July 1st you'll see alot of people pulled over talking on their cell phones.

I don't think they can give you a ticket if you're parked.
I'm not talking the freeway shoulder, just parked on a side street.
