Bluetooth for California Drivers - Hands-Free for a More Productive Journey

Bluetooth is an easy to use and secure technology that allows a wireless connection to a Bluetooth headset from a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. For California drivers 18 years or older, this means that you will be able to make and receive calls while you drive, using your Bluetooth headset, without picking-up your cell phone. Another great feature of Bluetooth is that it is compatible with many different cell phones, PDAs, and Blackberries. So, if you buy a Bluetooth device and switch your phone, you can still use your current Bluetooth headset. And don’t hesitate to buy a top-of-the-line Bluetooth model, because with proper care, it can last for years. Remember - the Bluetooth solution does NOT apply to drivers under the age of 18. Drivers under 18 are NOT allowed to make any cell phone calls, while driving, no matter what the technology! Bluetooth headsets also work up to 30 feet away from your cell phone, so it’s handy to have no matter where you are. And many devices also have a noise-canceling feature that will give you a clear calling experience from any location where you might make or receive a call. Best Buy, sponsor of NewRoadRules.com, has lots of additional information about Bluetooth technologies and products, including descriptions of the different kinds of Bluetooth headsets, and a Cell Phone Accessory Finder to help you choose the right hands-free product. click here to find out more, or visit your local Best Buy store to go hands-free today!
