April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. According to the NHTSA, distracted driving accounts for over 3,000 deaths in the US each year. Many states have enacted hands-free phone laws in order to help prevent deaths and injuries, while encouraging drivers to keep their focus on the road.   Although many car manufacturers are adding Bluetooth technology to their new models, there are still many vehicles that do not have those sort of safety features available. The good news is that there are dozens of products that allow hands free communication. And although it is always recommended that you ignore calls and texts while your vehicle is in motion, sometimes communication is necessary while driving. These products are some of our top pick when it comes to safe, hands-free driving:   The Cellslip The CellSlip is your new tool for digital protection. Also known as a Faraday Bag, the Cell Slip can be utilized for several safety purposes. Once your mobile device is securely stored inside, the Cell Slip can prevent incoming signals to your phone while driving, promoting safe driving habits. It can also be used to prevent hacking of your device, especially when attending confidential or large group events. And last but not least, use it to ‘silence’ mobile phones during concerts, movies, or private events! Easy to use, easy to protect.   The Gravitis The Gravitis uses wireless charging technology to charge your devices, cord-free. Gravity keeps your phone in place while you’re driving and charging up. For effortless navigation and one-touch control, use the Gravitis every time you’re on the road. This product was recently named Best Tech Accessory by the Counselor Product Design Awards 2019! Bluetooth Speaker Visor Clip Hands-free is the way to be and a Bluetooth Speaker Visor Clip lets you answer and end calls and stream wireless digital audio via Bluetooth from your iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows phone and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. USB jack to charge the unit from any USB power source (cable included). Small size with clip to attach to cap brim, car visor, clothing and more.   Wireless Hands-Free Stereo FM Transmitter The product not only charges the phone, but also answers calls remotely. It also has unlimited music connections and allows for unlimited hands-free calls.   Bluetooth Earbuds or Bluetooth Headset Some people prefer the privacy of using headphones or earbuds in order to keep conversations private. These can be worn comfortably while driving and have a built-in microphone so callers can hear you just as they would if you were speaking into a cell phone.  Be safe and encourage hands-free driving with the products above.
