The state of Washington approved a measure that would require drivers to use wireless headsets or a Blue Tooth wireless connection while talking on a cell phone while driving.

This bill sends a message to all drivers all across the state that talking on your cell phone while driving is dangerous. States have taken action to reduce cell phone related automobiles accidents.

Some states prohibit the use of handheld devices while operating a motor vehicle, but they allow the use of some type of Blue Tooth Wireless Connection.

Lawmakers, fear restricting cell phones in cars may hamper the development of new blue tooth wireless technology for cars that maybe beneficial. Devices that can be beneficial for motorists include blue tooth wireless headsets, and blue tooth car kits.

Richard Kovacs owner of Kovacs Wireless that sells blue tooth wireless connection products, doesn’t want to outlaw cell phones in cars. He hopes they will be safer. “By being hand-free you can turn, you can shift, you can signal and most importantly you can see where your going all the time. Blue Tooth technology enables motorists to drive safer” he said.

Under the new laws, drivers who read and compose text messages or talk on cell phone without hand-free device could face a $101 ticket.

The text-messaging ban takes effect Jan. 1, 2008 and the cell-phone law in July 2008.
