PUBLICIZING THE HANDS FREE LAW
I've noticed very few notices or signs reminding people that by Tuesday, July 1st, the law requires all drivers to only use Hands-Free headsets when talking on their cell phones (in California). They will NOT be allowed to hold their cell phones to their ear while driving.
Since everybody has a cell phone nowadays, you would think they would do a better job of publicizing it. But I feel like only this week, have I begun to see signs for it on freeways. And what if you don't ever drive on the freeways and don't really keep up with the news?
In fact, I've found the government has done a much better job publicizing the need for TV digital converter boxes in February 2009 for all those currently receiving their TV reception from an antennae. They run a little ticker on the bottom of many shows and have put several commercials on about this during all hours of the day and night. And that's still 8 months away!
The cell phone law goes into effect in 1 day! What are they thinking? Maybe they're not.

but what would be the equivalent of the ticker at the bottom of tv shows? sending each mobile subscriber a text message that would annoy the enduser becuase they have to pay a fee to receive this message? i don't think that there is an equivalent to the scrolling message at the bottom of tv shows.
i haven't checked, but it could be a line item on your cell phone bill.

I didn't think they did a bad job publicizing it for the handsfree...what's the point in publicizing it way in advanced when people tend to forget?
Plus, I've seen zero info the TV digital converters, so they must be doing a bad job :0)

victor's right. i've seen a million ads about TV digital converters, but only knew the date the hands-free law was effective because i looked it up myself (and yes, after discovering the date in march, i still remembered. it's important and entirely relevant to LA where everyone drives to work...)
