Is This True? New Driving Fines?

A friend of mine sent the following to me. If this is being implemented, let us all beware, 'cos it's not going to be fun to face any of these fines!

New California Laws effective 7/1/07 - New Driving Fines for 2007

1. Carpool lane - 1st time $1068.50 starting 7/1/07 (The $271 posted
on the highway is old). Don't do it again because the fine will be doubled on the 2nd time. 3rd time- fines triple, and by 4th time, the license will be suspended.

2. Incorrect lane change - $380. Don't cross the lane on solid lines or intersections.

3. Block intersection - $485

4. Driving on the shoulder - $450

5. Cell phone use in the construction zone. - Double fine as of 07/01/07.
Cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving.

6. Passengers over 18 not in their seatbelts - both passengers and drivers will get tickets .

7. Speeders can only drive 3 miles above the limit.

8. DUI = JAIL (Stays on your driving record for 10 years!)

9. As of 07/01/07 cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving.
Ticket is $285. They will be looking for this like crazy - it's easy money for police department.

If true, these are hefty fines and not to be taken lightly.

Happy driving!
