More and more states are banning the use of hand held cell phones while driving. No state has prohibited the use of hands-free phones. However, California, New York, Washington D.C. and Connecticut are among the states that have banned the use of handheld cell phones while driving and consider it a primary offense – which means you can be ticketed even if you are not violating any other traffic laws.

Studies show that 80% of all crashes and 65% of all near-crashes are directly related to a distracted driver. Other distractions that are also being banned include: text messaging, smoking, eating drinking etc.

Don’t have a hands-free phone yet? Better to be safe rather than sorry – check out our selection at the foneGEAR store.
