California will enforce 2 hands-free laws in July

Ok let’s be clear, 2 laws will take effect on July 1st, 2008 in California thanks to Gov Schwarzenegger:

# SB 1613: Requires all California motorists to use hands-free devices when using a cell phone while driving.

So please be kind with California Highway Patrol teams, drive safely and, if not a customer yet and if you are over 18, get a hands free car kit from Parrot asap!
