Mobile Radio Simplified. Accessible. Relevant.

Tuesday, July 1st marks the big day in which California and Washington drivers will be required by law to use hands free devices while operating a cell phone and driving. We’ve been ramping up for this day, and we’re circling back to remind our readers to be prepared. There a number of ways in which you can become law abiding in this regard.

• Speaker Phone
• Use a bluetooth wireless device.
• Use a “wired” headset. (The kind that plugs into your headset.)
• Install a “car kit” (most expensive)
• Abstinence (don’t use your cell phone while driving)

You can find a variety of affordable options to safely equip you for driving under the new laws, such as this bargain-priced car kit.

As it pertains to radio listening, it could well attrition as those who’ve thus far chosen radio over using cell phone in car, for safety reasons, will now have good reason to jump on the hands free train. Further, listening to cellecasts and other cellphone-based audio media will suddenly be a lot more practical and feasible than ever before. Fourth Speaker has advocated hands free listening all along. This new law just puts necessity in our corner in addition to convenience, which has been there all along.

As for me, I’ll be heading to the Sprint store this week to replace my Bluetooth headset that remains MIA.
