Take the Hazards Out of Talking on the Cell Phone When Driving

Almost everyone can relate to this scenario: you're driving along down the street and suddenly someone swerves out in front of you - you speed up just a little to give them "the look" and you see they still don't have a clue you're even there - they're too busy trying to balance a tiny cell phone on their ear and have a conversation while driving! No matter how good your driving skills are, anyone can become distracted and become a road hazard if you attempt to hold a cell phone when driving.

Common sense will tell you it's never a good idea to talk on the cell phone when you're driving but sometimes it can't be helped. If you work and especially if you're in a position where you have frequent contact with the public, you're going to be in heavy communication as a result of your job. By the very nature of an emergency, they can't be conveniently scheduled and if you have a personal or business crisis happen; someone will need to reach you immediately. Instead of being a hazard on the road, become the good example.

If you have a Jeep year model 2002 or better, you can use some great hands free cell phone technology. UConnect is the exclusive voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle communications system for your Jeep and it just uses a small control pad, microphone and speaker. You don't have to take your hands off the wheel of your Jeep to dial or answer you cell phone as it is voice activated. Additionally, the UConnect system will automatically lower or mute your stereo if it is playing so you don't have to fiddle with turning the music down when you're driving. It allows you to store up to 32 names and four numbers per name (128 entries) in the system's phone book, and is flexible enough for an entire family (up to five phones can be linked to the system).

With just a little technological addition to your Jeep, it's possible to be a safe and connected driver when you use the hands free technology that allows you to still get important calls but your hands and eyes will be safely on the road.
