Hands Free Phone Accessories For Your Car

The image of a successful executive behind the wheel of a Bentley talking on his cellphone has been made a whole lot funnier in this day and age by the knowledge that he is likely to get arrested for such behaviour. However, this vindictiveness aside, there is an important point to be made about cellphone use while driving.
It has been proved again and again that driving while talking on the phone is dangerous. Even the quick-witted among us cannot realistically carry on a conversation, control a vehicle, hold a cellphone and watch the road at the same time. This means that talking and driving can be massively dangerous - which is why it is now illegal to do it in more than a few states.
To clarify that point, no state has made it completely illegal to use your cell while sitting at the wheel, but almost all have some form of restriction on the practice. It will at least be treated as a "distracted driving issue", which for one thing will place the blame squarely on you in the case of any accident. Bad for your driving licence, bad for your insurance and bad for other drivers.
How do you get around this? Or, a better question, what can you do to make your cellphone use at the wheel safer? After all, sometimes it will be necessary to make or take a call while driving. Well, the hands-free kit is your friend in such a situation. With an earphone and microphone attached to the cell you can carry on a (brief) conversation while steering your car towards its destination - though there is still no substitute for pulling over to a safe spot if the conversation is one that will require a lot of brain power. This way you get to carry on the conversation and live to have others.
Hands-free kits are not expensive. In addition, by that we do not mean in the same way as a night at the theatre can be "surprisingly inexpensive". They are not expensive compared to the average bottle of soda. So expense is no defense where these babies are concerned. Hands-free kits are on the market for as little as $2. If you cannot afford that, then start parking further away from the gates at work and the saving you will make on petrol in a week will pay for the hands free kit. At the other end of the market you will find some that get up above $100, but if you are spending that much on something that can be got for 2% of that price then your priorities really need to be questioned.
A mid-range headset is more than acceptable, and there are Bluetooth-enabled headsets out there for $15 and under. So if you do not have a hands-free kit and you like to chat while driving, spend the money now. It is much better than a fine or a spell behind bars, is it not?
