"27602. (a) A person may not drive a motor vehicle if a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen, or any other, similar means of visually displaying a television broadcast or video signal that produces entertainment or business applications, is operating and is located in the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver's seat, or is operating and visible to the driver while driving the motor vehicle."
That seems to make it illegal to drive a car if the driver or front seat passenger is watching videos (from youtube or myspace, etc.) on their cell phone, even if the driver can't see the videos. Anybody know if this law has been applied to text messaging or watching videos on a cell phone?
