[Spridgets] Use your cell phone driving...

[Dave G.]

In WA State....
Under new laws, drivers who read and compose text messages or talk 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.

But here is the "out"!
Drivers are exempt in some situations, including emergencies, and neither 
offense will be enough to get a driver pulled over by the police.
 
So where's the 'sting!'
