Does Bluetooth = Safer Roads

To see if the use of Bluetooth technology makes our roads a safer place to drive we first have to look at some statistics on driving with out a Bluetooth hands free device. In the US over half the drivers poled said they talked on their cell phones while driving. The figure is probably closer to 85%. That is a staggering number of drivers. Stats show that young drivers are more likely to text than talk on the phone while driving, this means that the group of drivers with the highest accident rate are being more distracted than ever. 7 out of 10 admit to texting while driving. Business men are more likely to talk on the phone will driving. Over all if you talk on the phone while driving you are 3 times more likely to have an accident.
So how does a handsfree device make our roads safer?  In order to use a cell phone you have to hold it to your ear and that takes one hand. One less for steering the car. To make a phone call you have to dial, that takes one hand and you have to look at the phone to do this. Now you are not even looking at the ;road. Texting  you not only have to hold the phone but you have to look at it each time you send a text or receive a text. The time not looking at the road just went up astronomically.

You can own a Bluetooth device, a headset a speakerphone or a car kit that completely frees up your hands and eyes for doing what they are supposed to do when driving, that's steering the car and watching the road. Anyone of these devices can be bought with features that allow you to answer calls send calls and receive and send text messages using only your voice.
