thumbnail Careful, nerds: Wearing Google Glass while driving may get you a ticket

While Google Glassers will soon have a further dorkening of their beloved accessory to contend with, there may be a bigger problem to worry about: Driving with the Internet on your face may be considered a ticketable offense.

Self-described Transhumanist and prolific #GoogleGlass poster, Cecilia Abadie took to Google+ (of course) to claim the title for what appears to be the first person to receive a ticket for wearing Google Glass while driving.

In her initial post on the incident, Ms. Abadie said:

A cop just stopped me and gave me a ticket for wearing Google Glass while driving! The exact line says: Driving with Monitor visible to Driver (Google Glass). Is #GoogleGlass ilegal while driving or is this cop wrong??? Any legal advice is appreciated!! This happened in California. Do you know any other #GlassExplorers that got a similar ticket anywhere in the US?
