What’s all the HYPE about? People have been driving for years with distractions. Now all of a sudden with all the media excitement cellular phones have become the poster child for distractions. What about all the other distractions: eating in the car, putting on makeup, combing hair, reading the paper, shaving, changing clothes, waving at people, waving at other cars, putting on shoes, spanking your kids, trying to find your purse, looking for the remote to the radio, trying to read the GPS etc…etc. I can think of about fifty without even trying. But now technology has spun out of control and we’re texting all over the place. I can tell you it’s because when we’re in the car that’s the only time that we have to text and talk. Other than that, I’m busy. Once the car stops I’ve got things to do.

Let’s Be Sincere. Driving while texting or talking is dangerous and the only way that I can think of to minimize that danger is not to text while driving, or with the use of a headset. That of course is not the only solution but perhaps you’ll be able to keep your eyes on the road. Every cellphone user should invest in a headset preferably a Bluetooth. How hip is that? Instant hands-free. You can’t get any cooler than that. In the beginning I didn’t even consider the use of a headset. I didn’t get it. I didn’t want to change. After all I’d used a cell phone since ’89 so how dare I change. I must have a device to my ear. Why? Must one and all know that I’m on the phone?

It’s the Law. In several States it’s now against the law to use a cell phone without a hands-free device while driving and the laws differ from City to City and from State to State. California was the first State to have the California Wireless Telephone Automobile Safety Act, New Jersey and the District of Columbia have a hands free law, and several cities in Texas.

What are you waiting for? An crash, well by then it’s too late and the life you save just may perhaps be your own. Can you conceive of taking the life of someone else because of a cell phone? I can’t even picture such a tragedy. So for the sake of others and my peace of mind I’ve invested in a Bluetooth. My first Bluetooth, wow, it’s been 20 years and I’m ultimately taking some responsibility as a cell phone user. I’ve purchased the Noise Assassin from AwsWireless.com. It’s supposed to be the best. I’ve used it a week and it’s Impressive. This is the greatest thing since Chocolate. I’m hooked.
