Safe, Hands Free Driving

By Geoff Dayler


Nowadays, wherever you go, either at a supermarket, in a restaurant, in a fast food, or outside on the streets, you will always find a person on his/her cell phone, even the drivers on the cars passing by. We just love to chit chat and most especially we can't let go of our cell phones.

I remember when mobile phones first came out. Me and my friend bought one for ourselves. The first phones were cumbersome. Our phones were with us the whole time so that me and my friend could chat on it as long as we wanted, we just chatted and chatted. I am embarrassed to say though that we used it while we were maneuvering our own vehicles. We thought to ourselves that we were so in the fad! Did you notice how the cell phones look right now? Improvements in cell phones has taken a giant leap. Before, when all was bulky and the only thing it can perform was taking calls, but nowadays, you can listen to music, surf the net, play a game and many others, well no windows yet! Wherever I go, my cell phone goes with me. As a woman, it is dangerous to be on your own in the city these days that's when a cell phone comes very handy.

It really is dangerous to drive with one hand on the steering wheel while the other is grasping on a cell phone. It's a risk that is not even necessary and can be avoided. As what the researchers at the University of Utah learned, it is the same as drunk driving. Cell phone use impairs one's mind, hand, and eyes while on the road. We are not in agreement with driving and using the cell phone at the same time. Even several states would agree on that as they are proposing to restrict totally cell phone usage on drivers. People are going to use their cell phones in the car until it is outlawed, but at least the use of hand's free devices offer a safer alternative than taking both hands off the wheel. A California legislator passed a bill stating that phone users are required to use a hands free device when driving a vehicle. On the 1st day of July, 2008, the bill was enacted into a law. It now made phone usage without a hand's free device unlawful when on the wheels.

The Blue Tooth Headset that my husband have right now makes him very happy because it's been very handy for him while he's typing away in his computer all day. At times, he would have to be on a customer, clicking away in his computer and still able to talk on the phone, even taking him a while to finish. Before, my husband used his cell phone in the middle of his neck and shoulder just to be able to use the computer and phone at the same time, but later it became uncomfortable and sprains the muscles on the neck and shoulders. Therefore, I gave him a Blue Tooth Headset, and now it never leaves his side.

Holding the phone or cell phone through your neck and shoulder can cause nerve compression on the neck. Stinging in the arms, hands, neck and shoulders are the consequences of this that usually leads to headaches. A hand's free device is a good way to go, so that you won't have to suffer headaches and body pains. You can have yourself a Blue Tooth Headset. It's comfy, uncomplicated. It's wireless and produces good quality sound. Motorola offers many styles and shapes to fit the needs of everyone. It's speakerphone can even be attached on the visor of your car. In California, you can drive and still talk on the speakerphone with this one. You can forego wearing the wireless headset and you won't be penalized.

Drive safely and comply with traffic rules and regulations. Wear your hand's free device if you have to talk on the phone while driving.
