I saw this recently too...guy on a Gixxer taking a Snapchat selfie while waiting at a light!

Thankfully in California it is now illegal to hold your phone AT ALL while driving. I have friends that have been ticketed for holding their phones even while waiting, fully stopped, at red lights. The motorcycle cops will creep by and if they see you they tell you to pull over. I know it probably seems like overkill but hopefully over time it will train people to stay off their phones!
You're only allowed to make a single tap or swipe on your phone as long as the phone is mounted or fixed to the vehicle.
