The Wrong Way to Get a Discount

August 3rd, 2008   Filed Under Traffic  

Who says crime doesn’t pay? Aliph, makers of the ultra-cool noise-reducing Jawbone Bluetooth headset, have come up with a great marketing scheme. If you live in California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, New York, or Washington — all states with laws requiring hands-free use of mobile phones — and receive a ticket for yapping with your iPhone plastered to your ear, Jawbone will deduct $20 off the purchase price of one of their headsets.You can’t get a discount on the Silver Tongue model, but the prices for the Goldy Lips and Blah Blah Black versions end up at $129.99 and $109.99 respectively. All you need to do is go to the Jawbone website, look for the Hands Free Ticket Processor, and enter your state and ticket number. $20 is taken off the original purchase price, and you’re ready to go.Source: TUAW  

New Cell Phone Law

June 25th, 2008   Filed Under Legal News, Traffic  

Starting July 1, drivers who hold a cell phone to their ear will be playing a game of roulette. The new law makes it illegal to hold the phone to your ear while driving, but law enforcement can only pull you over if you have caused another traffic offense. Those caught will have to pony up $124 for the cell-phone citation. From Annie Martin at the Kitsap Sun.

New Traffic Laws for 2008

December 7th, 2007   Filed Under Legal News, Traffic  

If you have been on the fence about purchasing one of those fancy blue tooth devices for your cell phone, the new traffic laws should help inspire you. Need a great New Years resolution? How about, I will not text while driving.

Under the new laws, a driver who performs text messaging or talks on a cell phone without a hands-free device could face a $101 ticket. The “text-messaging ban” takes effect Jan. 1. The “cell-phone law” will be enforced starting in July 2008.
