4. No cell phones while driving unless
they’re completely hands-free.
Drivers throughout Illinois
caught holding cell phones
up to their ears could be
subject to a $75 fine.
5. How can I talk on my phone
without holding it?
Many newer-model cars are already
Bluetooth-equipped and sync up to
cell phones easily.
10. You can even buy mounting devices
for your car’s dashboard, windshield or
console.
11. All of these products are reasonably
inexpensive and can be found at any
electronics store or online.
12. You CAN stay connected but
keep your hands on the wheel!
All of these hands-free options are
acceptable as long as they can be
activated by a voice command or
single-button touch.
13. P.S. …there’s an app for that
One-touch dialing and voice-command
features are built into many phones.
Phones that do not come equipped with
such features but are Internet-based can
download one-touch dialing or voicecommand apps from their app store.
14. So obey the law.
Keep your eyes on the road and your
hands on the wheel
And Talk Hands-Free in 2014.
