The use of hand-held mobile phones while driving was banned (in the UK) back in 2003, and for good reason. The latest statistics reveal that phone-driving is far more dangerous than expected. Some studies have been undertaken by government departments and driving charities to learn more about the ramifications of this increasing tendency whilst driving.

Studies show that the reasons for phone-driving being dangerous are the two fold, firstly physically breaking contact with the automobile steering wheel & carrying your eyes from the road for prolonged periods (Clearly far more dangerous when texting). Secondly lapsing in concentration when being included in the conversation.

The second though as significant as the first, is some what of a null point as several other distractions can cause the driver to lose concentration, e.g chatting to passengers, altering the radio (or CD's) or even implementing make-up when driving. Government & charity campaigns are starting to sink in with the vast majority of people and handsfree bluetooth kits are becoming very popular, however not enough of us are using them. The solution to this dilemma is simple. In the form of bluetooth car accessories. These kits are readily available and come in 2 forms, an incorporated kit which connects into the vehicle's stereo and speaker system, and unviersal bluetooth kits which may be swapped into various vehicles. The integrated system has far better sound quality and more functions than the worldwide kits however equally decrease the chances of having an accident.
