Many vehicles are now equipped with bluetooth technology which allows a cell phone to communicate through your car. I think that using this option is a safe way to use a cell while driving.

As I mentioned earlier, the use of cell phones while driving can be a safety issue. I do realize that there have been multiple accidents, some fatal, due to the use of a phone while driving. I agree that distracted driving puts everyone on the road at an increased risk for accident.

With the use of bluetooth and similar advances, you can do many things on a cell phone without even touching the phone. For example, I can use voice to text or voice dial options to communicate with others while I am driving. This is a safer option that always allows me to have both hands on the wheel.

After the law went in force, I still use my phone sometimes while I am driving. I now just try to hide it. This creates an even bigger safety issue for me. I will probably always have a cell phone with me. I do try and limit my usage while I am driving now more than I did before GA passed the current no usage law.
