The ill effects of not using hands free bluetooth devices
With driving laws becoming more and more stringent in various countries, the ban on talking on cell phones while driving has almost become universal. However, drivers have found a unique solution to this problem in the form of hands free Bluetooth devices. Although, people who drive feel that this should be able to reduce the cause of accidents that were the cause of stringent laws in the first place, the truth is entirely different.
Even though, it is a fact that hands free Bluetooth devices enable people to keep both their hands on the wheel, but the fact remains that people are still talking. Thus, they are not giving their undivided attention to driving but are mostly concentrating on the conversation they are involved in. So actually the hands free devices have helped only in making the driver use both his hands for controlling the wheel, while his mind is still somewhere else.
As per some research conducted by the insurance industry, as many as seventy three percent of people who drive use hands free devices to carry on conversations while driving. It was also found that for a driver, who talks while driving even if he uses a hands free device, the chances of having an accident increase to 1.3 times. This ratio is comparable to the accidents drivers get into due to driving under influence.
So stop playing with your and other people’s life. Don’t converse while driving, and if it is absolutely unavoidable, do so only after pulling off the road.
