Cell Phone Safety While Driving

by K._Lynn

An estimated 9 million drivers in the U.S. alone are believed to
use their cell phones while driving. This almost unbelievably
high number of users is worrying when you consider the number of
users that are not using a hands-free device while on the phone.
In the U.S. several cities, and even states, have now banned the
use of a cell phone while driving; unless the driver incorporates
a hands-free device.

In New York State it is illegal to drive and talk on a cell
phone without a hands-free device. In Flower Mound, Texas, it is
now illegal to drive through a school zone while talking on a
cell phone without a hands-free device.

Many countries around the world, the United Kingdom & South
Africa to name two, have banned the use of mobile phones while
driving; all in the name of safety.

The data to support the dangers of cell phone usage while
driving is somewhat mixed; but there is no doubt that any form of
distraction while behind the wheel is a serious concern.

Consider the following safety tips to help keep you, your
passengers, and your fellow drivers safe on the road.

When possible avoid making or answering calls during bad
weather; rain, snow or even high winds can be hazardous enough on
their own without the added complication of you being
distracted!

Sitting in rush hour traffic during your morning and afternoon
commute is certainly incredibly boring, but the distraction of
making calls in heavy traffic can be very dangerous. A large
majority of fatalities on the road happen during the morning and
afternoon rush hours; do your part to avoid an accident!

If you absolutely must make or answer a phone call while
driving, and you do not have a hands-free device or kit consider
asking your passenger to help.

Speed-dial or speak-dial features can be very useful when
driving. The ability to either press one button to dial home or
to simply say �Home� can greatly reduce your need to look away
from the road.

Hands Free Kits

A hands free device or kit allows you the freedom to drive
safely with both hands on the wheel. A few years ago the devices
were of really poor quality, making cell phone users rather
reluctant to use them. Technology has now improved to the point
that you can often hear better through the hands free device than
you can through the earpiece on your cell phone.

Bluetooth devices are rapidly gaining in popularity. A Bluetooth
wireless device eliminates the need to carry the phone; a small
earpiece that fits over your ear it transmits a signal over short
distances to your mobile phone. It is a simple procedure to get
your Bluetooth device to sync with your phone, a lot of phones
are now programmed to detect when there is a Bluetooth device in
close proximity.

Teenagers & Driving

Knowing that your teenager is on the road is a scary enough
proposition for a parent, but knowing that your teenager is also
texting or talking excessively on their cell phone while driving
can be nightmarish. Be sure to communicate important safety
guides to your teenager before letting them behind the wheel with
their cell phone.
