If you've already received a ticket for cruising around in California with one hand on the wheel and one hand holding your phone, I have a little something to make getting that ticket seem less depressing. Aliph, the maker of the uber-stylish Jawbone headsets (a personal fave and one of my June Must Haves), is offering you a discount when you buy one of their cool headsets!
Just enter in your citation number on the Aliph website to receive a nice $20 discount — that's the amount of the ticket itself! Well, on your first offense anyway. Here's hoping that you won't get caught "cell-handed" again!

$20 bucks for a ticket??? You get pulled over here (NY) ONCE talking on a cell and its like $100 or some craziness. Its times like this I wish I lived in Cali
1I think when it's all said and done your $20 first time offense turns into something like $90 with the extra fees they tack on.
2there is something seriously wrong with this kind of marketing
3lol thats funny . A one handed discount
4I'm glad tickets are so high for this offense. I'm sick of people doing this and causing accidents or near accidents. And while this ad campaign is twisted in its own way, it's also pretty damn clever.
5Smart marketing campaign, though as a CA resident who has been using hands free forever, I wish the penalty was steeper. I'm so sick of seeing soccer moms in gigantic SUVs holding the phone up to their ear. I understand the need to use the cell phone in the car sometimes (my commute is 75 miles each way through LA traffic, and I would have either gone insane, or been given up for dead a couple of times, if I didn't have phone access in my car), but hands free is so simple, relatively cheap, and much safer. It's tempting to start honking obnoxiously at people breaking this law.
6will they do it for seattle residents? i just moved here and they started their law july 1. i now have to buy one of those things on the off chance i want to talk in my car which i rarely do.
