New researches recently, purport to show the dangers of using mobile phones, even with hands free while driving to be riskier than driving over legal alcohol limits.
Though using hands-free phones is not considered as dangerous as using hand-held
Mobile phones but it is still reckoned to be worse than driving in the influence of alcohol.
There are groups and communities all over the world who, through campaigns like drive-style etc advocate the correct way of using cell phones
Driving is all about managing risk!
People have often back lashed on these communities accusing them of relegating the critical faculties, that drivers use as mere reflexes and prove drivers to be incapable of doing more than one thing at a time. But the idea is not to patronize drivers or proof them incapable of multi tasking but to acquaint every one of us, of the consequences of a situation going out of control.
The stakes are too high here! An act of carelessness costs lives. And that we have a statistic dedicated to the pangs of driving using mobile phones, further asserts the immediate remedial measure that need to be incorporated.
Mobile Phone companies have come up , with a handy and very relevant feature called the blue-tooth. It is a technology that enables short-range voice and date communication.
And is ideally suitable for each one of us as it is a means for wireless transports. Several handsets such as Sony Ericsson W550i, Motorola V3i, LG U8360 , Nokia 6111 are now available with an in built blue tooth technology which makes life simpler and safer for us.
Though use of mobile phones is not safe while driving but phones such as these are a safer alternative to regular handsets which are a far cry from being safe and reliable.
