considered after the California Legislature in the United States sent the proposed bill to Governor Jerry Brown.&nbsp; The new bill would create harsher penalties for those caught using a cell phone to talk or text while operating a motor vehicle and for the first time extend the law to cover cyclists as well, albeit with lesser penalties for offenders than other motorists.<\/p>\n<p>Bicycle groups do not appear to be opposed to the idea, with most believing that it is only a matter of time before other states also move to include cyclists in the ban on using cell phones while on the road.&nbsp; \u201cWe can and should be held to the same standard as people driving cars,\u201d believes the president of the lobby group for cyclists in Washington DC, the League of American Bicyclists, Alan Clarke.&nbsp; \u201cOne needs to be paying attention, both hands on the handlebars.\u201d Clarke is one of those who believe that the ban is almost certain to eventually spread to other states in the US besides California.&nbsp; \u201cIt doesn\u2019t cause me any heartache to see that passed,\u201d he notes.&nbsp; \u201cMy hope is it will be enforced vigorously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cyclists that violate the new law, if it receives final approval from the Governor, will be hit with a $20 fine for a first offence and a further $50 for every subsequent violation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A ban on using new or old cell phones while riding a bicycle is being considered after the California Legislature in the United States
