I do not know how many people actually get pulled over for driving while holding their cell phone’s up to their ear. I personally know 5 people who over the past year have gotten pulled over for such an offense. Very recently California and Washington just joined their east coast brethren in banning cell phone cusping while driving.
The solution of course is just to use a headset or some kind of handsfree device. And for those of you that find the concept daunting Headsets.com will send you a free headset if you have been cited for driving without one.
And while they acknowledge that studies have studies have shown that talking on hands-free devices are just as dangerous as talking on cell phones regularly, they nevertheless want you to be as safe as possible.
Oh, the handset they will send you is the sexy sleek Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset.
Before you hit the streets chasing down cops to see you cell phone hand just remember that a fine in California will set you back 20 bucks and some other states 200 bucks (way more than what the bluetooth costs).
