The Governator’s wife has been caught, three times, driving while using a cell phone. That’s all right — when her husband signed that new law requiring the use of hands-free sets while driving, he didn’t mean you. Governor Schwarzenegger promises that “swift action” will be taken. As in, “Knock if off, Maria, you’re making me look bad!”
My handsfree set went out a few weeks ago and it needs to be replaced. Until then, I’ve been pulling over when someone calls me and I can’t resist the impulse to answer (like when it’s my wife). In the meantime, one of the lawyers in my firm seems to have a Maria Shriver-like attitude — he just takes or makes the calls and drives as if the law simply didn’t exist or he didn’t care about it. It’s only a matter of time until he gets busted, too. Maybe I should get him a handsfree set, too. But even if I did, he won’t use it.
