Bluetooth keeps your vehicle safe

“Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel”

Do you remember those stories from your grandfather, heralding that driving use to be such an easy going affair? Boasting that seat-belt laws are for the birds and that speed limits slow you down. Lol! We won’t get into the other illegal practices that society once held as the norm. Now in modern times, it’s almost illegal to blow your nose or drink a coffee while operating a motor vehicle. But is that such a bad thing? Would you shave and iron at the same time? No way! You would cut and burn yourself. So you do them separate because it makes sense, because it is safer to do so. Driver inattention is one of the leading causes for vehicle accidents and our governing bodies recognize that fact. Sure we need to be in touch ‘right now’ and in the know at all times, but at what cost…

Last week the Ontario Government made it illegal to even hold your cell phone while driving. No texting, talking, or holding of your cell phone while operating your vehicle. Thank goodness for Bluetooth eh! Most modern vehicles have a one touch engagement to operate your Bluetooth device with ease. Usually it is located directly on your steering wheel so you can maintain complete focus on the task at hand and instilling safety first as a primary objective. Add to that, intelligent voice activation technology and you are virtually commanding your vehicle to interface with your Bluetooth device as if you are commanding a co-pilot.

If your vehicle is not equipped with a hands-free function, there is hope. You can upgrade to a Bluetooth navigation system that will transform your ride into the safe, hands-free environment that will insure your compliance with the cell phone laws in Ontario.
