Starting today, Albuquerque drivers had better keep their hands on the wheel and away from the cell phone.
The ban on driving while holding a mobile phone legally takes effect today, though it’ll be at least 60 days before anyone gets a citation. . . .
Mayor Martin Chávez said police won’t actually cite drivers and levy fines for another 60 days. It will cost $100 for the first offense and $200 for subsequent violations.
I have a question. NewMexiKen doesn’t live in Albuquerque. The city limits are around here somewhere, but there are no signs. Ignorance of the law, of course, is no excuse, but how can the city enforce a ban (a ban I support, so this question is somewhat rhetorical) without properly posting its limits?
