As               members               of               a               nation               driven               (no               pun               intended)               by               highly-accessible               technology,               Americans               have               long               tended               to               sacrifice               personal               safety               and               well               being               on               the               road               for               the               sake               of               their               portable               gadgets.

Think               about               it.

How               often               have               you               found               yourself               mesmerized               by               the               pure               stupidity               of               a               fellow               driver's               ability               to               text               message               from               his               cell               phone               while               simultaneously               enter               navigational               coordinates               to               his               on-dash               GPS               device,               all               the               while               downing               his               slice               of               lemon               raspberry               coffee               cake               and               non-fat,               decaf,               double-frappe-mocha-licious-Starbuck's               latte?

Before               you               realize               it,               one               of               you               is               running               into               the               other.

As               an               electronics               guru               myself,               I               sympathize               with               the               on-the-go               need               to               utilize               several               devices               simultaneously               while               driving.

However,               as               countless               statistics               have               proven,               this               choice               may               not               always               be               the               safest               one.
               In               fact,               the               American               Automobile               Association               (AAA:               www.aaa.com)               recently               published               their               own               research               on               the               texting               while               driving               phenomenon               and               found               that               "1               in               5               U.S.

drivers               admit               to               texting               while               driving               at               least               once               in               the               last               thirty               days,"               (AAA               Newsroom:               "AAA               Campaign               Aims               to               Pass               Texting               While               Driving               Bans               in               All               50               States               by               2013";               article               published               9/25/2009).
               Many               of               us               recall               the               tragic               Los               Angeles               train               wreck               of               September               2008,               in               which               train               conductor/engineer               Robert               Sanchez               was               reported               to               have               been               distracted               while               text               messaging               teenager               Nick               Williams.

The               disastrous               crash               left               25               people               dead,               including               Sanchez               himself,               according               to               FOX               national               news               (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,421801,00.html).

The               railway               tragedy               was               ranked               one               of               the               deadliest               train               wrecks               within               the               last               15               years.
               Countless               stories               of               teens               and               adults               dying               in               automobile               collisions               have               made               national               news               headlines               for               years,               with               text-messaging,               cell               phone               usage               and               other               electronic               devices               to               blame.

So               how               can               you               ensure               your               safety               and               the               safety               of               fellow               drivers               and               roadway               pedestrians               while               using               personal               and/or               in-car               electronics?
               1.

Invest               in               a               Bluetooth               earpiece               and/or               Dashboard-mountable               Microphone               Device
               Countless               drivers               currently               employ               the               use               of               these               two               beneficial               forms               of               technology,               both               of               which               allow               for               hands-free               communication               on               your               cell               phone               and               additionally               eliminate               the               need               for               any               wiring.

Whereas               previous               earpieces               required               a               connecting               wire               to               your               cell               phone               (similar               to               earphones               connected               to               an               iPod               or               MP-3               player),               the               beauty               of               the               Bluetooth               technology               lies               within               its               wireless               capabilities.
               Many               cell               phones               are               now               sold               with               an               accompanying               microphone/earpiece               set,               which               allows               the               user               to               speak               directly               into               the               wired               mic,               while               the               cell               phone               itself               can               be               placed               elsewhere               in               the               vehicle.

This               again               allows               for               hands-free               activity,               ensuring               that               the               driver               can               concentrate               on               properly               and               safely               navigating               the               vehicle.
               2.

Learn               How               to               Operate               your               Cell               Phone's               Speed               Dial,               Voice               Activation               and               Speakerphone               Functions
               If               Bluetooth               earpieces               and               wireless               microphones               are               too               technologically               complex               or               are               not               to               your               liking,               simply               preset               your               phone's               hands-free               options.

The               vast               majority               of               recent               cell               phones               and               Blackberries               come               standard               with               these               features.
               Speed               Dialing               Features               allow               the               user               to               preset               a               select               number               of               their               most               frequently               called               contacts               and               pair               them               to               specific               keys/buttons               on               the               device.

For               example,               a               user               may               preset               his/her               spouse's               cell               phone               number               to               the               phone's               #1               key/button.

Instead               of               having               to               dial               the               entire               number               or               scroll               through               a               list               of               contacts,               the               user               is               now               able               to               press               one               button               to               initiate               the               call.
               Voice               Activation               and               recognition               options               are               becoming               increasingly               common               on               the               majority               of               handheld               communication               devices.

Once               properly               programmed,               they               allow               the               user               to               simply               speak               a               contact's               name               or               logged               entry               title               and               immediately               initiate               the               calling               process,               without               ever               pressing               a               single               button.

This               feature               is               particularly               handy               for               drivers               as               it               allows               for               complete               control               of               the               steering               wheel.
               Speakerphone               functions               have               been               around               in               the               cell               phone               world               for               a               number               of               years               now.

A               nice               addition               to               any               cellular               communication               device               with               speakerphone               capabilities               is               a               dashboard-mountable               phone               holder.

Be               certain               to               strategically               mount               the               holder               in               a               convenient               location,               one               which               allows               you               to               view               it               from               your               normal               driving               position.

Remember,               you               will               want               to               be               able               to               see               who               is               calling               you               without               averting               your               eyes               from               the               road               for               more               than               a               second               or               two.
               3.

Avoid               Adjusting               GPS               Navigational               Coordinates               while               Driving               
               
Although               the               technological               advances               of               in-car               GPS               devices               continue               to               astound               countless               drivers,               there               is               a               great               danger               in               operating               one               under               any               driving               circumstance.

As               a               personal               owner               of               the               Garmin®               Nuvi               205               series               GPS               instrument,               I               can               testify               to               Garmin's               concern               for               driver               safety.
               Upon               turning               on               the               device,               the               user               is               greeted               with               a               Warning               Screen               which               reads               "Do               not               attempt               to               enter               route               information               or               adjust               this               device               while               driving.

Failure               to               pay               full               attention               to               the               operation               of               your               vehicle               could               result               in               death,               serious               injury               or               property               damage.

You               assume               total               responsibility               and               risk               for               using               this               device."               The               user               must               then               press               "Agree"               at               the               bottom               of               the               touch               screen               before               accessing               any               navigational               features.
               If               the               need               arises               to               adjust               your               coordinates               mid-trip,               it               is               typically               suggested               that               the               driver               pull               over               to               the               side               of               the               road               and               make               a               complete               stop               before               doing               so.

Otherwise               you               risk               injury               to               yourself               and               any               other               passengers               present               in               the               vehicle.
               Safety               is               the               name               of               the               game               when               using               electronic               devices               while               behind               the               wheel.

Countless               deadly               automobile               accidents               occur               every               year               with               cell               phone               usage               to               blame               in               hundreds               of               cases.

Each               and               every               incident               could               have               been               prevented               with               a               little               more               caution,               common               sense               and               a               few               of               the               aforementioned               suggestions.

Your               personal               well-being               and               the               well-being               of               your               family               and/or               fellow               passengers               and               drivers               is               your               highest               priority               and               concern.

The               next               time               you               decide               to               employ               the               use               of               an               electronic               device               while               driving,               remember               Los               Angeles               train               wreck               of               2008.

And               then               utilize               some               of               the               above               tips.

You'll               be               glad               you               did.
