According to Distraction.gov, California is one of many states in the nation that has enacted a handheld ban for mobile devices while drivers are operating their vehicles. This ban includes cell phone use for calls and texts. In response to these laws, many companies have begun to manufacture and market hands-free systems that allow drivers to engage in their old behaviors, such as placing calls and sending texts and emails, all without the dangers of handheld devices. However, a recent study by the American Automobile Association’s Foundation for Traffic Safety has found that these hands-free systems may be more distracting than their original counterparts.
