Maria Shriver caught driving while talking on cell phone
October 15th, 2009 - 12:35 am ICT by Aishwarya Bhatt ( Leave a comment )Sacramento, Oct 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife Maria Shriver was caught on camera, talking on the phone while driving. Reports suggest that this is not the first time that she has violated the rule, of not talking on the cell phone while driving.
The celebrity Web site TMZ.com posted two photographs on Tuesday showing Maria Shriver holding a phone to her ear while she’s behind the wheel. It says one was snapped on Sunday and the other one was clicked in July.
The Web site later added a video it said was shot on Tuesday in Brentwood, where the family lives. It shows Shriver holding a cell phone to her ear while driving a large SUV that looks like to be a Cadillac Escalade. She apparently got a scent of the camera that was filming her while talking and driving, so she put her phone down.
The first lady’s office said it would have no comment.
Her husband Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote to TMZ.com founder Harvey Levin: “Thanks for bringing her violations to my attention. There’s going to be swift action.”
In an apparent sarcastic comment, Schwarzenegger’s spokesman Aaron McLear says that by “swift action,” the governor means he’ll ask his wife not to hold the phone while driving.
According to a Californian law that took effect in July 2008, requires California drivers to use a hands free device when talking on their cell phones.
Since the law came into effect, the California Highway Patrol has issued more than 150,000 citations to people who have been caught violating this law. This figure is exclusive citations issued by the local police.
Violating drivers are fined at least $20 for the first ticket and $50 for any subsequent tickets, plus additional fees.
