Maria S. was on meet the press this morning and she confessed she saw people filming here. The moderator on meet the press confesses he was the one making the phone call to her.

I’m with Chal too. Tammara, I fail to see the humor (but I certainly see the irony) in this. It’s one case where a law makes sense, although, unfortunately, the law is ignored on an epidemic level, and the police don’t seem to be enforcing it. So perhaps public shaming of a high-profile person is just what is needed to send the message that chatting on your cell phone behind the wheel is often stupid and dangerous, especially when it’s a case of hand-held chatting in clear violation of California law. As for whether Maria Shriver is otherwise a terrific person, note that this post only addresses her driving.

I’m with Chal on this one. I don’t use my cell while driving, it can just roll over to voice mail and be done with it. Driving is one of my quiet times with no disturbances.

Fines for cellphone use should increase to the same level as when you get snagged by one of those photo-enforced intersection cameras– around $400. You want to talk on your phone? Pull over and stop endangering other drivers.

Hmmm. In my book, the good Maria Shriver has done, far outweighs driving with a cellphone (c’mon who hasn’t she’s only human….I’m NOT condoning it… but there are FAR FAR worse sins) and to judge her by her parking inabilities…. seems a bit harsh. Where’s the compassion…. and more importantly humor people?

Spotted her with female bodyguard at a local Trader Joe’s a few months ago, in a black mo-fo humvee, tard-parking over 2 (much in demand) spaces + with bad mo-fo attitude. Super douche.
