urban legend ! driving law emails

did u guys ever recieve an email restating new driving laws?

Subject: FW: New State of Florida Regulations Regarding Cellphone Usage and other driving matters

These are new fines that were implemented on 8/1/07 for the State of Florida:

As of 08/01/07 cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving. Ticket is $285. They will be looking for this like crazy - easy money for police department.

Cell phone use in the construction zone. - Double fine as of 08/01/07. Cell phone use must be "hands free" while driving.

Carpool lane - 1st time $1,068.50 starting 8/1/07 (The $271 posted on the highway is old). Don't do it again because 2nd time is going to be double, 3rd time triple and 4th time license suspended.

Incorrect lane change - $380. Don't cross the lane on solid lines or intersections. Block intersection - $485.

Driving on the shoulder - $450.

Passengers over 18 not in their seatbelts - both passengers and drivers get tickets.

Speeders can only drive 3 miles above the limit.

DUI (Driving under Influence=JAIL and stays on your driving record for 10 years!)

my friends and i got emails like this
it was exactly like this but it was directed towards California instead of Florida
but the funny thing is. it's not true! and its just been circulating the web for a while now
i wasnt reallly sure about the truth from that email until i came across this FLorida one
from this website >> http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_florida_traffic_laws_2007.htm
and since the rules and regulations were stated exactly the same , i know its not true now!
haha
