Should Bluetooth in cars be standard?

There is a lot of focus these days on finding ways to stop distracted driving. 10 states, D.C., Guam and the Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from using handheld cell phones while driving. N.H. and Utah treat cell phone use and texting as part of a larger distracted driving issue. In Utah, cellphone use is an offense only if a driver is also committing some other moving violation (other than speeding). For a complete list of state by state cell phone and text messaging laws go to http://www.ghsa.org/html/stateinfo/laws/cellphone_laws.html

At Jiffy Lube we encourage safe driving at all times and here is an idea if talking on the phone while driving is important to you for business or personal use. 

Why not look into Bluetooth?



Bluetooth technology opens up a whole new world for cell phone users, especially those behind the wheel. Using a short-range wireless signal, Bluetooth phones can be used with Bluetooth-enabled cars to allow drivers to select contacts and dial using either voice recognition or controls mounted on the steering wheel and to carry out their conversations hands-free. 

It might even be a good idea to make Bluetooth technology a standard safety feature in all new cars. Airbags and seat belts are required, why not Bluetooth? Just think about it. How often to you see drivers talking on hand held devices and ignoring the road. It happens all the time. This is one idea that could help.
