SACRAMENTO, Calif. (CBS) ― California first lady Maria Shriver was caught chatting on her cell phone while driving, an illegal move based on a legislation her husband Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is calling out his wife, Maria Shriver, for apparently violating a state law he signed — holding her cell phone while driving. The celebrity Web site TMZ.com posted two photographs Tuesday showing Shriver holding a phone to her ear while she’s behind the wheel. It says one was snapped Sunday and the other in July. The Web site claimed that this was not the first time California’s first lady was caught chatting on her cell while driving.
On his Twitter feed Tuesday, Schwarzenegger wrote to TMZ.com founder Harvey Levin: “Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention. There’s going to be swift action.” Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear says that by “swift action,” the governor means he’ll ask his wife not to hold the phone while driving. A law that took effect in 2008 requires California drivers to use a handsfree device.
I think she deserves a public spanking.
In other news, Lindsay Lohan snorts coke. Stay tuned.
Now I understand why he wants to crack down on the paparazzi!
Given the public safety concern, seems to me the technology exists to simply turn off the cell phone connection when movement above 10mph but below 200mph is detected?
You’ll be against this until you get plowed into by a woman on a phone.
I’d support such a law.
#3. I like it.
#3 The only trouble with that would be that owners of very high performance vehicles might be tempted….
So if a random person had been caught, what would have happened to them. If schwarzeneggers wife is caught, nothing to see here.
All politicians are just a bunch-o-hypocrites
It is important to note that California’s law doesent ban you from talking on a cell phone while driving. It simply requries you to use a “handsfree” device while talking.
Kind of silly actually as studies show it is the act of talking that distracts the driver not holding a phone.
You are still allowed to hold the phone while dialing.
They initially tried to write the law to completely ban talking on a cell while driving but the cellular telephone lobby had too much power (money) to allow this to happen.
This was simply another one of the 600-900 laws that are passed each year in California.
Maria Shriver KENNEDY should know that she should be careful while driving.
MikeN said,
“Maria Shriver KENNEDY should know that she should be careful while driving.”
Groan….. That is a bad pun.
You are going to get hit by lightning for thinking like that
Funny though.
BTW, are they so poor that they cannot afford a freaking bluetooth earset?
At age 62, “swift action” would require special effects, or maybe Sildenafil.
Rules are for little people.
Why should she obey the law her husband signed into law, when so many other people are doing the same thing all the time?
“Swift Action.”
With his accent, I am sure it came out “Fist Action.”
Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear says that by “swift action,” the governor means he’s going to shoot her in the head with a GAU-17 mini-gun until she’s terminated (or stopped using the phone).
#3 What about Passengers?
Just another phony ass liberal who tells othes to do as I say and not as I do. Remember, laws are for the little peoples…
Arnie will dick slap her when he gets home.
Arnold to Maria…
Typical liberal hypocrisy. It’s the famous liberal DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO. She and her RINO steroid abusing philandering hubby should be smacked upside the head.
