Hands-Free
The Importance of Hands-Free Driving...
We prioritize safety on the road for everyone. One crucial aspect of safe driving is using hands-free technology while behind the wheel.
It is not a topic of discussion that you may hear when people are talking about driving; but it should! At some point in any conversation with an officer after an accident, someone will mention the topic of "was a certain driver using hands-free" or otherwise.
This one thing could be the difference between a passenger being hurt; or not!
Unfortunately, people and drivers in-general have mixed emotions on using hands-free options while driving. All you have to do is view drivers as they are driving. Who knows the reasoning; but it happens. With cars now having the capability to have phones connected to the radio, literally, if that option is available, there would be no real reason to not have the phone connected. In cases where that option is not available, perhaps the "original option" should be used. Many outlets, local and on-line sell the gadgets that allow the phone to be secure in areas near the console, dashboard, or affixed (temporarily to the front window.
In almost all occasions, you would see various types of vehicles that do have their phone in "hands-free positions.", such as commercial trucks and such.
Choosing hands-free...
Driving requires your full attention, and holding your phone can be a major distraction. By using hands-free options, you can stay focused on the road and reduce the risk of accidents.
This is a typical message given to a person in a class, a person giving the results of a driving test, seen in a safe driving video, mentioned by a parent to a child who is learning to drive, and the list could go on.
