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.
I’ve been tempted, I’ll tell ya… a teenager in an Escalade almost hit me about 12 times because she couldn’t use both hands to turn the wheel and refused to put down her damn phone. Of course, there were children in the back seat too. ARG!
This new cell phone law is totally a blue tooth conspiracy!

when I bought this two months ago, it only cost $20. i figured for 2 bucks i could be obedient. it works pretty well so far.
I just stumbled upon your blog. Hilarious post! I’m moving to CA soon and will have to encounter the bluetooth conspiracy myself soon enough.
Can’t we still text though? And put on our makeup? And read the newspaper? And shave? And eat? Whew.... it’s a good thing they banned holding cell phones to your ear while driving.
First no smoking, now no talking. Next there will be a law to finish your vegetables. Does Big Brother have to do everything for you Californians?
They just passed the same law here in Washington. But they can’t pull you over just for talking on the phone - you have to be doing something else illegal.
Here in Utah the laws are different from city to city. I drive through three cities on my way to work; the city in the middle requires hands free cell phone devices, the outer two do not. Lame.
Hahahaahahahahaaha! Love this one.
