The hands-free law goes into effect on July 1st of this year, which means while you’re driving, you must be “hands-free” using your cell phone. Hands-free means using a wired earpiece, the speakerphone on your cell phone or your car, if equipped, or the most popular, a Bluetooth earpiece. A Bluetooth earpiece is a short-range (usually not more than 30 feet) wireless connection to your cell phone. Almost all cell phones now have Bluetooth capability. A Bluetooth earpiece will allow you to both make and receive calls while keeping both hands on the wheel. Of course, the safest option would be to not take calls while driving. Pull off the road to a safe location and park to make calls. If you must use your cell phone while driving, try to make it brief and hands-free.
A Bluetooth earpiece would make a great Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone. They come in a large variety of shapes, sizes and colors. We invite you to come in and browse our selection of Bluetooth hands-free devices, as well as other fine phone accessories.
