Hands-free Car Kit Use, Increases Driver Safety?
by chazjr on Oct.13, 2009, under Uncategorized
mobile phone use while driving is common but controversial. Being distracted while operating a motor vehicle has been shown to increase the risk of an accident. Because of this, many state governments have made the use of a cell phone while driving illegal. Washington, California, Oregon and Arizona are just a few states of the many that penalized drivers caught using their mobile phones while behind the wheel. The same restrictions apply to drivers internationally.
While the popularity of mobile phones has rapidly increased in the past couple decades, the demand for bluetooth handsfree kits increased as well. In several states it’s mandatory to use a hand-free device while operating a vehicle. Hefty fines are issued to drivers who don’t abide by their state governing rules regarding cell phone use while driving. While some say it’s tough to determine how many accidents were results from cell phones, what is certain is that talking on the phone and texting while driving both lead to distraction. Case studies show that driver inattention is the leading cause of car accidents.
A new study confirms that reaction time of cell phone users are astoundingly delayed, hightening the risk of accidents. Researchers indicate that “If you put a 20-year-old driver behind the wheel with a cell phone, their reaction times are the same as a 70-year-old driver who is not using a cell phone,” said University of Utah psychology professor David Strayer. “It’s like instantly aging a large number of drivers.”
Retailers of hands-free cellular car kits typically point out that driving with a cell phone in one hand and the steering wheel in the other is dangerous. The implication is that using the hands-free kind isn’t. New research agrees with their selling point. A review of studies into the ergonomic and psychological issues of using a cell phone behind the wheel, concludes that when it comes to driving safety, there is certainly a difference between hands-free bluetooth users versus hands-on cell phone use by drivers.
In 2008, over 800,000 people were texting, making calls, or using a handheld cell phone while behind the wheel of a motor vehicle in the United States. Statistics that same year reported that distracted driving killed roughly 6,000 Americans, and injured 330,000. As always there is proof in the numbers, so clearly cell phone use while driving puts all drivers in danger.
The consistency of increased crash risk between hands-free use and hand held cell phone use is at odds with legislation in many locations that prohibits cell phone use while driving. Talking, dialing or texting on a cell phone is more distracting than using a hands-free devices that offer voice-dialing and handsfree operation. It is apparent that hands-free use will reduce or eliminate that increased risk of an accident.
Discovery Of The Health Concerns On Cell Phones

Part of the radio waves emitted by a mobile telephone handset is absorbed by the human head. The radio waves emitted by a GSM handset, (Global System for Mobile Communications) can have a peak power of 2 watts. An analogue phone has a maximum transmit power of 3.6 watts.
Other digital mobile technologies, such as CDMA and TDMA, use lower output power, typically below 1 watt. The maximum power output from a LG cellphone is regulated by the mobile phone standard it is following and by the regulatory agencies in each country.
Swedish researchers from the University Lund, Salford, Brun, Perrson, Eberhardt and Malmgren, have studied the effects of microwave radiation on the rat brain. They found a leakage of albumin into brain via a permeated blood-brain barrier.
The rate at which radiation is absorbed by the human body is measured by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), and its maximum levels for modern handsets have been set by governmental regulating agencies in many countries.
Some users of mobile handsets have reported feeling several unspecific symptoms during and after its use; ranging from burning and tingling sensations in the skin of the head and extremities, fatigue, sleep disturbances, dizziness, loss of mental attention, reaction times and memory retentiveness, headaches, malaise, tachycardia (heart palpitations), to disturbances of the digestive system all of which can be attributed to psychological stress.
Although research is still undergoing and it’s not entirely clear what the affects of cell phone tracer use will have, people continue to use it on a grand scale. With research they hope to conclude the affects cell phones use has in the near future.
When you call 911 from a land phone, even if you don’t realize where you are, the 911 system is able to locate you and send help as needed. Your landline telephone is connected to the lines on the poles which illicits a computer in the dispatch center illustrate the number and address of the phone you’re using.
Cell Phones Don’t Work the Same
When you dispatch a 911 call on a free mobile phone tracking, you are sending signals through the air. The tower that picks up your phone’s signal may or may not be near. Unless you are able to tell the 911 dispatcher where you are at, it may be very hard for them to locate you.
If you happen to connect to a 911 call center that is not local, they may not be able to help you as fastly as they will require to contact the 911 service providers in your area, thereby slowing the dispatching of help to the caller.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has required that all wireless carriers be able to pinpoint your location for the 911 dispatchers, but the rule is coming in phases and there are plenty of exceptions.
When you call 911 from a cell phone, the call often lands in a regional center. A call-taker in a far- distant city or county may answer your call. To get help to you, there are two pieces of information the call-taker crave s to understand immediately:
1. Tell the call-taker which city you’re calling from first. They can forward your call to the right center if need be.
2. Tell the call-taker what type of emergency you have. This will let them be able to inform the other centers of the nature of such an emergency. Giving priority to serious condition s first.
Dispatch centers may vary from one center to another, with the right information, the call-taker will transfer you to the right center.

Increased reliance on cell phones has led to a rise in the number of people who use the devices while driving. There are two dangers associated with driving and
cell-phone use, including text messaging.
First, drivers must take their eyes off the road while dialing. Second, people can become so absorbed in their conversations that their ability to concentrate on the act of driving is severely impaired, jeopardizing the safety of other motorists and pedestrians.
This topic has gotten a lot of attention. Some want it to be banned all together, while others want to impose tougher laws about drivers who use them. With all of the factors that are required to drive safely, it’s imperative to keep all safety factors in
mind.
Suggestions for cell phones and driving;
1. Keep in mind there are many distractions on the road. If you are driving alone and can do so safely pull over to make or answer a call.
2. If someone is with you, have them talk on your behalf.
3. There are devices now to allow for a hands free call, allowing for you to keep your hands on the wheel.
That doesn’t take from the distraction of the conversation itself but, it’s a way of being able to take or manufacture the call that’s less imposing on your driving attention.
Most important thing to keep in mind when driving is that your ability to concentrate and take care on the road is your first responsibility. Any call that important is worth pulling over for.
Some regions and states have made driving while using the GPS tracking cell phone against the law. This decision is still under investigation and consideration in other areas. It’s important to realize before driving through one of those regions what their laws are on cell phone use in cars.
Cell phones are not just for business tycoons and parents on the run, children are more and more getting their own GPS cell phone tracker.
Elementary aged children are bringing them to school. Many schools are banning cell phones, so your child may not be able to have or use the free mobile phone tracking during the time when he is most likely to be away from home.
Although the Firefly Phone is a real, functional cell phone, pre-teens and teens likely won’t think so, and they will probably want a regular cell phone.
The positive side of your child having a cell phone is being able to contact them or them being able to contact you in an emergency. The negative factor is that many children are not using them responsibly. If you are going to buy a cell phone for your child, it’s important to ensure they understand what is classified as proper use and what is not proper.
Being able to keep in touch with your child when he or she is not with you is a valuable perk; yet, with the right education on how to use them responsibly they can continue to be a valuable tool for your child.
