Embrace Innovative Technology And Go Hands Free
Folks have many names for these, from Hands Free Car Kits to Bluetooth Car Kits to Mobile Phone Car Kits but regardless of what they call them, they are totally necessary for Drivers.
New Zealand has finally followed in the footsteps of most of the Western World and barred the use of Hand Held Mobile Phones while driving. Of course, the legislation continues to generate healthy discussion as there are various individuals that merely see it as another breach on our human rights.
Like most legislation it can become just the standard in a few months time and people in general will move on to other topics to voice their frustration. At this stage a lot of individuals will have purchased a Bluetooth Car Kit.
What will remain is a massive number of fines being dished out for breaches of the new law. This! I see genuine sense in versus ticketing drivers for 7 k's over the speed limit.
Aah! You detect a minor frustration here don't you.
Well! Maybe it's my turn to get on a soap box. Yes! I was ticketed by a speed camera. My crime was exceeding the speed limit by 7 k's. Serves you right! I hear from some of you. Yes! I'm a criminal thus lock me away! I did it! I purposely flouted the law and should pay the consequences. 7k's is completely unacceptable but still I'm a little irked. I thought there was a 10k tolerance to permit more minor speed fluctuations, not that that's a defense.
Perhaps! it had been because I was in a faculty zone and if so then sobeit. But wait! At ten o'clock at night there aint several kiddies threatening to run across the road.
Simply a note here
The Police are kind enough to point out that speed cameras are not a revenue collection exercise however they have a legal tolerance in place! Currently I could be wrong here BUT! If being ticketing for driving within a legal tolerance is not revenue collection then it is truthful to mention "I will eat my hat" In fact the Government may have slipped a law amendment in underneath the radar (so to speak) and lowered the tolerance to 5k's - to which I say REVENUE COLLECTION. If you want to penalise individuals for driving abuse then penalise them for speeding and drunk driving etc.
I am yet to follow a police vehicle in normal traffic, that doesn't fluctuate in speed just that small bit above and below the limit and most of their vehicles have cruise control.
Well that is my gripe. No more complaining!
Now where was I ?
Ah yes!
The simple act of turning off the mobile phone while driving is not so much an an option these days as our desire to remain in contact with our surrounding world takes precedence. We live during a time of fantastic change and advancement. The present generations experiencing this transformation have done so at a level unparalleled in the history of man. The last fifty years have seen more and more change than ever and it continues to collect momentum.
Therefore! Embrace the technology! Get yourself connected and use a hands free car kit
