If you're umming and ahhing about whether you buy a hands free car kit, then you’ve come to the right place. Here, we’re going to look at some of the key benefits of installing a kit in your car. By the time you reach the end of this article, we’re sure you’ll have a positive view of hands free car kits. They’re great, and here’s why:
1. It’s legal: the best thing about hands free kits is that they’re legal. There has been some debate about criminalising them, but they’ve decided to keep their legal status. If you use your mobile phone while driving, you will be prosecuted, unless you use a hands free car kit. However, we do need to warn you that if you have an accident and the police deem that your hands free kit distracted you, they might find you liable for the accident.
2. It’s safer: without a doubt, hands free kits are safer than using a mobile phone in your hand. You maintain two hands on the steering wheel at all times (things like hanging up and dialling numbers are voice activated). The distraction is similar to the distraction of having a passenger in the car, which is part and parcel of the driving experience.
3. It’s more convenient: it’s far more convenient to use a hands free kit than it is to use a mobile phone – you don’t have to look for it in your pockets, dashboard, bag, etc., as is the case with mobiles (whether you're in your car, or not). It’s also more convenient than having to pull over to take or make a call.
4. You can charge your phone: finally, most docking stations for hands free kits double as chargers for your phones, so you can charge your phone while making calls. Awesome.
