New Cell Phone Laws in Washington State and California

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ron_Stephens]Ron Stephens

There will soon be a new cell phone law in Washington state. If a policeman sees you driving with a phone to your ear, after July 1st 2008, you could be ticketed. You will not be ticketed for the offense unless you are being pulled over for a driving infraction.

Also, with the new cell phone law in California, beginning July 1st, 2008 you can be pulled over and ticketed for driving with a cell phone to your ear. In California it is a primary offense and the officer will not need any other reason to pull you over, so beware! If you are not already using a hands free Bluetooth cell phone, there are many options available. Many cars now have Bluetooth capability. If you drive a newer car with a hands free Bluetooth system, and are not using it, now is a good time to learn. If you need instructions on pairing Bluetooth cell phones with your car, there are resources online where you can learn very quickly.

I have a very nice Bluetooth enabled headset that I use only when I am in my car. It really is much easier to concentrate on my driving when I use the headset while talking on the phone. It isn't just about breaking or not breaking the law. It is much safer to have both hands on the wheel when you are driving. There are many online stores that sell Bluetooth enabled cell phones if you don't already have one. You will want to check for compatibility of the cell phones with your vehicle's Bluetooth hands free system by going to your auto manufacturer's website.

Most Bluetooth enabled phones are very easy to use and can be set to automatically connect to your car as soon as you start the engine. If you would like a recommendation, I have always had good luck with the Motorola phones. I have had six or seven Bluetooth phones, and the Motorola phones are very easy to use. When shopping for a cell phone, I have found that you can almost always get a better deal buying online. Many online merchants provide free shipping and rebates, and even give free phones when extending your service plan. Customer service received from the more popular sites is excellent.

If you have a car with a Bluetooth hands free system, remember: Always check with your auto manufacturer for compatibility with your car's handsfree system before you purchase any new Bluetooth enabled cell phone! They will not all work in your car. For example, if you drive a Toyota Avalon with a hands free system, go to Toyota.com and search for "Bluetooth". You will be directed to pages that are very user friendly. You will find a list of phones that have been tested and approved by Toyota for use in your car. You will also find pairing instructions for that particular phone to be connected to your particular model car.
