Glass Explorer Ticketed For Speeding And Driving With Glass
Last night, Glass Explorer Cecilia Abadie shared a post asking fellow Google+ users for some advice. Abadie had been given a traffic ticket "for wearing Google Glass while driving" and wondered if the cop was wrong, or if driving with Glass is already illegal in California.

Specifically, it indicates that Abadie was going approximately 80mph, in what she says was a 65mph zone.
