Car Cellphone Bans Driving Bluetooth

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hadn't-thought-of-that dept.

jmatheny14 noted that the BBC is running an article about an unexpected side effect of car cellphone bans. It says"Legislation banning the use of mobile phones in cars is spurring car manufactures to look for alternatives such as Bluetooth." and "Because it can be used with a hands-free headset that can connect to a mobile phone even if the device is some distance away, it could be a perfect way to get around the ban."

    The use of cellphones while driving was banned to try to prevent accidents. Now people have found a loophole. Result: more accidents.
    Shortsighted again, slashdot.
