1. Riding a bicycle while intoxicated is also illegal and very dangerous.
2. Applying makeup, eating, or using a mobile phone to check maps while driving are not explicitly prohibited, but they are violations and are just as dangerous as using a mobile phone to make calls or send text messages.
3. It is illegal to apply tinted film to car windows.
4. You must leave at least 3 feet of distance when passing a cyclist.
5. When using headphones to talk while driving, you can only wear them on one side.
6. The blood alcohol concentration limit for drivers under 21 is 0, while the standard for the general public is 0.08. If you are under 21, it is best not to even look at alcohol if you are driving.
7. Do not mess with your license plate or registration sticker. License plates cannot be covered by any decorations or paint, and you must not steal or borrow someone else's registration sticker; this is not something that can be resolved with a simple traffic ticket.
8. Minors are not allowed to use mobile phones or other communication electronic devices (such as iPads) while driving, even if using a hands-free function.
9. If you are driving alone in the carpool lane, never cross the double yellow line to change lanes just because you see a police officer. This is much more serious than driving in the carpool lane illegally.
10. Placing a temporary registration sticker on your car window is likely to get you pulled over by the police. If you accidentally pay your vehicle registration fee late, you will receive a temporary sticker to place on your window after paying at the DMV. While this sticker ensures you won't be fined for an expired registration, police can still pull you over because you have something on your window.
