Cell phones - New Law

According to a proposed new law that would go into effect Oct 1, 2008 you will no longer be able to use a cell phone while driving unless you have a 'hands free' adapter. I went to Circuit City and they wanted $50 for a headset with a microphone for my cell phone. Having a friend in the cell phone business, I talked with him and was able to come up with an alternative, working through Office Depot.

These kits are compatible with any mobile phone and one size fits all. I paid him $0.08 each because he bought in quantity. Then we tried it with Motorola, Sprint, Verizon and Nokia units and they worked perfectly.

A photo is attached so scroll down & take a look and let me know if you want one.

  4. This is too funny! I have seen many people walking around Walmart, Kmart, etc etc talking on their
    blue tooth and that is pretty irritating to listen to their conversation while waiting in line to checkout.
    It will be nice however, to not see people glued to their cell phone will driving trying to text, dial and drive at the same time.

  5. The question is that with cellphone usage up, more cars on the road, why are car accidents either staying flat or going down?

    Here is a site that shows trends over time. You would think that with more cars and more cellphones, accidents would go up.

    Passing laws for us to use headsets seems like a simple talking point for a politician to make us think they are actually doing something.

    Issue is that "studys" have shown that hands free does nothing to better your concentration:
