Big Technology at a Small Price

There is much debate over cell phone hands-free legislation that is as extreme as an all-out ban on cell phone use in the car.

While I understand this position is concern for the safety of the public, it will never fly and would be an extreme measure to pass through legislation and be accepted by the public, which has grown accustomed to cell phone use while driving.

I mean really…at any given moment an estimated 11 percent of drivers are talking on the phone, making this the most common secondary task people perform while driving. Mobile phones are pretty much a way of life, especially for those on the go.

3 Common Sense Tips for Hansfree Driving:

1. Use smart, defensive practices! Know your driving situation and decide when it’s OK to talk on the phone.
2. If you need to make a call, setup one-touch speed dialing, invest in a voice activated Bluetooth enabled hands-free device or use your Bluetooth car system.
3. Don’t text. If you think you can text while driving, you should get help.

Here is a Big Tip for Affordable Handsfree Safety

Bluetooth enabled wireless headsets and hands-free car systems have always helped drivers focus on the road. Today, new versions of these devices are better than ever, with  features that ensure a completely hands-free calling experience made possible by speech recognition, text-to-speech technology, and “speech trigger” capabilities that lets you turn on hands-free calling devices just by speaking a command. You can spend a fortune for a car with these features or save a bundle and grab a $60 portable device like the Supertooth.
