I received a ticket for talking on the phone . 6:00 AM, no traffic, small town NM (needed the stop and revenue?). After doing some chit chat about guns after I had presented my CHL, I received a 200.00 dollar ticket.

I don’t believe the use of a hand held device by the driver is legal period.

After the law went into effect ( about a week) and there was a frequent advertisement on the radio about not using your cell phone, I saw a Police Officer talking on his phone. I honked and pointed at my phone. I got flipped off. Same as yesterday when a guy was not moving after the light turned green. I tapped the horn . He flipped me off and proceeded to drive down the road swerving like a drunk as he had his head buried in his phone.
