Ways I’ve been rebelling against California’s new no-holding-phone-and-talking-while-driving law.

Dribbling a basketball outside the car window and occasionally passing it to other drivers.

Talking on my cell phone while holding it in my teeth.

Not holding the wheel at all while I pick my nose with both hands.

Holding a stuffed animal to my ear and pretending to have a conversation until police pull me over, at which point I thrust the animal at them and say “Ha, joke’s on you-it’s not a cell phone at all but rather my old pal Flopsy.”

Talking to friends and colleagues without using a cell phone--such as with CB radio, walkie talkies, and bullhorns.

Driving around my neighborhood with the stereo blaring and the windows rolled down, singing loudly along with Rihanna’s “Shut Up and Drive.”

Calling the police every five minutes to report another driver talking on his cell phone: “He just turned down Lexington Avenue. If you guys hurry, you can totally catch him.”

Pricing out bluetooth headsets. This is technically an act of cultural obedience and not rebellion, but whatever, who asked you.
