Are you aware that from November 1 2009 there is a ban on using hand held mobile phones while driving?

You should be and here’s why.

What’s becoming tragically clear is that the biggest danger of mobile phones is their apparently innocent and disturbingly widespread use behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. Research has shown that there were 411 injury crashes and 26 fatalities where the use of a mobile phones was identified as a contributing factor. In a car, mobile phone distraction is part of a much bigger driver distraction issue. In fact in 2006 driver distraction was identified as a contributing factor in 11 percent of all crashes, with a total social cost of over $300 million.

Our range of car kits and hands-free solutions are designed to meet the upcoming law change.

Don’t forget the proposed penalty for using a mobile phone without a hands-free solution from November 1 is both an $80 fine and 20 demerit points, with a 3 month license suspension if you get 100 or more demerit points in 2 years.

So get a hands-free car kit today and remember the safest option is to turn your phone off while driving.
