BlueAnt Voice Controlled Headsets and Car Speakerphones Enable Philadelphia Drivers to Comply with New Hands-Free Laws, Rocky Rejoices..

by

Philadelphia drivers have been enjoying a free ride but come December 1, they will be hit in the pocketbook if they are found talking on a handheld communication device while driving. Since November 1 warnings have been issued to drivers violating Philadelphia’s hands-free law but starting in December anyone not in compliance could receive a ticket and be fined $75. Only a short 25 miles away, the municipality of Wilmington, Delaware is following suit and will enact similar legislation on January 1, 2010 with fines set in the amount of $50.

To comply with these laws and practice safer driving, BlueAnt Wireless encourages Philadelphia and Wilmington drivers to consider its unique line of Bluetooth headsets and car speakerphones with voice control technology. Voice control technology takes hands-free to a new level, eliminating the need to pick up the phone to check caller ID or dial a number, or remember awkward button sequences to adjust volume or other settings on a hands-free device.
