The best birthday gift I could ask for

This is of course excluding any gift JA has given or could give me, because they are auto-win. (Thanks for the new laptop btw, love! *bats eyelashes* I love it.)

You might be wondering what is ‘the best birthday gift i could ask for’ then. Well I will tell you: the new cellular phone laws in California, effective July 1 (actual birth date!). Yes! Yes! YES! I am so tired of seeing people driving while talking on cell phones (entry on why I hate cell phones to follow). 95% of the times I’ve ever almost had a car accident or was pissed off by another motorist on the road, the idiot in the other car was on their phone. While I realize this won’t solve all of L.A.’s driving problems, or California’s for that matter, it’s progress. That’s better than nothing at all.

I know some people will argue that they can drive and talk on the phone just fine without endangering the people around them. First of all, that’s hogwash. Second, that doesn’t matter to me. So you’re an expert at multitasking on the road? For every one of you so-called experts, there are about a thousand (understatement) who are not so skilled. So suck it up. And save your multitasking skills for a more appropriate venue.

Unfortunately, as thrilled as I am about this law, I know that there will still be people out there driving with their cells in hand, and what kills me is that I know I’m going to see them and wonder why they’re not getting pulled over by a cop already. It’s like when you see someone drive out of the carpool lane when the lines are still solid yellow. Where the fuck is the fuzz when you need ‘em? Oh well. At least I don’t have to wish anymore for it be illegal because come my birthday, it will be, and that’s a damn good thing.
