 Amateur Radio has been exempt from California state's new "Hands Free"law. Beginning July 1st California will have new laws on the books todeal with the use of wireless telephones while driving. Some personalradio operators have been asking if the new statute affects them.
According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, the use of dedicated two-way radios such Citizen Band transceivers, walkie-talkies and the like are not affected by the new ordinance. This, as long as the person behind the wheel is age 18 or older.
