Yes folks old Arnie has decided texting on your mobile phone while at the wheel in California “won’t be back”. Because as of January 2009 texting on a mobile phone whist driving in the state of California will be an illegal action.

As of that time, anyone caught texting at the wheel will face a $20.00 fine in the first instance and a subsequent $50.00 fine for further violations.

Governor Schwarzenegger said: “Banning electronic text messaging while driving will keep drivers’ hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road, making our roadways a safer place for all Californians.”
