Cellphone law may not make roads safer

No shit? You mean hands-free devices don't fix the problem? I would have never guessed.

Some highlights:

"the new law doesn't specifically prohibit text-messaging while driving for those 18 and older."

"Banning handheld cell phones has a big effect on making people feel good about passing a law," Radar said. "Whether it's going to increase safety on the roads is doubtful."

Oh well, I guess the California politicians can feel good about themselves, and the police get to give more tickets, which always makes them happy.
