New Florida Laws?
Recieved this in an email today. I need to do a little research to see if its true, but regardless its insane...
Attention
1. These are new fines that were implemented on 8/1/07 for the State of Florida.
2. As of 08/01/07 cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving. Ticket is $285. They will be looking for this like crazy - easy money for police department.
3. Cell phone use in the construction zone. - Double fine as of 08/01/07. Cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving.
4. Carpool lane - 1st time $1068.50 starting 8/1/07 (The $271 posted on the highway is old). Don't do it again because 2nd time is going to be double 3rd time triple and 4th time license suspended.
5. Incorrect lane change - $380. Don't cross the lane on solid lines or intersections. Block intersection - $485.
6. Driving on the shoulder - $450 6.
7. Passengers over 18 not in their seatbelts - both passengers and drivers get tickets.
8. Speeders can only drive 3 miles above the limit.
9. DUI (Driving under Influence= JAIL (Stays on your driving record for 10 years!)
Drive SAFE..!

Im unable to find anything that supports this as fact. Has anybody else heard anything about this or is it total BS?
No newspaper coverage at all so this must be false information.
